i already did a search and can't find a topic on it so...

 

what's the difference between the GV-R929WF3-4GD and the GV-R929OC-4GD

 

as far as i can see the only difference is that one of them is under clocked, couldn't i just overclock the cheaper one to match the expensive one? what do you guys thing? is the extra 100Mhz worth the $50 when you can overclock it yourself?

 

i found it on newegg BTW.

Usually,... One is stock 947mhz, one is overclocked out of the box to 1040mhz

I bought the 1040mhz 290-OC, the other variant wasn't available, and yes, you can OC it to the same levels, it is what I'd have done originally.

so that's it? what a ripoff...

lol Yeah, if you have the option between them, and are overclocking.. go nuts on the cheaper one and OC.

 

Reason there are two available is "some" people, NEVER OC, this is why those cards are made,..the factory OC performance with no user input.

I don't think there's a good reason to buy a factory overclocked card if you plan to overclock anyway, although in some cases you could make the argument that the factory overclocked GPUs are slightly better binned, I don't know if that's always true or not, if it is true then maybe they have more OC potential but i doubt it... I would personally go with the cheaper card and then overclock it.
