What are the differences between these eVGA 7800GT's?

Is it only the clock speed? Why is it that the most expensive one doesn't have the highest speed? And isn't this speed just adjustable with coolbits or another software...

I can't pick which one to buy...

thanks...

The speed is adjustable with coolbits. I just bought the cheapest one.

Get the one with the higher factory clockspeeds (256-P2-N516). It has a higher clockspeed as well as a copper GTX style heatsink with a bigger (quieter) fan..

Of course, you can overclock any 7800GT with coolbits, but any speed increase you get from the factory is covered under warrantee, while the speed bump you might get with coolbits is not.

Doesnt look like there is a difference...some of them list "package" items though

Some of the more expensive ones come with COD2 included, otherwise the clock-speed is the only difference aside from the HS/fan.

I was under the impression eVGA's warranty covered any overclocking and replacement HSF's.

as you can see two of them are the same clock speed and memory speed but the heatsink on that other one is copper its basically just the heatsink is copper which would provide better ocing and keep temps down more.

thanks guys, I bought the 256-P2-N516.

Lucky for me I waited, it went $20 in price an hour after the thread.
