Hey guys,
I am planning to purchase one of the following eVGA 7800GT video cards... however, I can not figure out the difference between these two cards.
Can someone help me figure out the difference!?

Card #1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130256
Currently on sale at Newegg for $289

Card #2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130247
Currently at Newegg for $295 with a $20 MIR

What's teh difference? Should I just get the one that's $295 with $20MIR? $275 seems like a fairly good price for this card.

Thansk!
Eps.

If you go by the numbering scheme 516 is better than 515.

The only thing I see different is that N516 specifically states that it comes with copper heatsink.

Alright, I think I figured it out with a little help from the specs listed on ZZF. Here are the differences:

Part 256-P2-N516 - $289 @ Newegg
460MHz Clock
1.1 GHz RAM
35.20GB/Sec Mem bandwidth

Part 256-P2-N515 - $270 w/free shipping at ZZF
445 MHz Clock
1.07GHz RAM
34.24GB/Sec Mem bandwidth

I wouldn't say that the speed differences are worth $25 in my opinion... less than a 5% speed difference.

ahh yeah yo ugotta watch for that ep
some are factory clocked a bit more
I'd pay the 25, hell 15 mhz and 30 megahertz more never hurt anyone

either are a good choice though!
