Difference between eVGA 7800GT's

[keeleysam]

eVGA 256-P2-N516
eVGA 256-P2-N517-AX

Other than 10MHz core clock and $20, is there any difference between these cards?

SLI compatibility i'd assume...

The AX!!! If you read evga's warrenty it DOES NOT apply to the non-AX card.

There isn't even a differance in the clocks. I have a N516, and came stock as 470/1100, not 460/1100 like EVGA's PDF states. I'm not sure if they use the same BIOS, or if my current BIOS is just an update. But the N517-AX does have a better video-out cable, the "good one" that's a box and not just cables. Check out newegg's pics and see for yourself. The N516 also doesn't come with the Call Of Duty 2 mail out.

Aren't they all lifetime?

for the record, this is asked about once every 2 days. do a search.

N515-AX - Regular clocked EVGA 7800 GT (445/1070) with the reference Aluminum cooler.
N518-AX - Same as 515-AX, except it comes with an extra box.
N517-AX - "CO" Version, clocked at 470/1100 and has a Copper cooler with a larger fan (the same fan thats on the GTX).
N516-AX - This is the "CO SE", but its clocked at 460/1100 and it also comes with the same cooler as the regular "CO" version.

The thing is, the 516 on Newegg does not have the "AX" appendage, but it has it on the eVGA site:http://evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-P2-N516-AX

dont worry. there are no non ax version. probably just a typo.

All EVGAs 7 series cards are AX. Older cards, some 6 series video cards, don't have the AX/life-time warranty.

Unless I'm missing something the 16 edition is the better deal at current prices ($20 difference).

My CO SE came at 470/1100, my box says Lifetime Warranty upon registration, my card is registered so I assume it has the warranty. I also got a verification from eVGA yesterday saying they are sending me out a copy of COD2. I love this card, it's OC'ed to the specs in my sig, I just ran 3DMark05, scored 8011.
