Are these graphics cards the same?

nVIDIA GeForce 9600GT is available with 512MB memory and 1GB memory.

You can buy an normal 9600GT graphic card and overclock it yourself using this overclocking tool provided by nVIDIA called nTune.

The graphic card sold without overclocking is cheaper. Just do it yourself. It is easy.

Yes there the same. Only diffrance is the aria is 25mhz more on the core clock. Which you'd probly get the same results overclocking the other one yourself.

I'd buy the cheapest one!!

The aria sites sold out at the momment thou.

Ive brought from overclockers befor and there fine with decent customor surport.

Ati cards are know for bad drivers.

The Aria one is factory-overclocked to 675mHz, while the Overclocker's one is running at 650Mhz. A slight difference, not a big one. I'd buy the Overclocker's one, since cards running at stock speeds stay cooler and last longer.

They both appear to be the same video card.

Although the aria one is overclocked to give better performance, but more heat issues.

Not quite. The Aria card is already overclocked by the manufacturer. So should it fail due to overclocking you have more comeback than with the OCUK if you were to overclock that one yourself.

The http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics...

is better because its overclocked and it has 675MHz insted of the other one that has 650MHz

What are you going to do with the Graphic Card? Playing games, rendering animations, working with Video Clips? You have to choose base on your need. If it's just playing video games? anyone on the market is good enough. for a normal computer usage. Internet, email, MS-Office your on-board card is sufficent.

hope it was helpfull.

Yea they are the same, you can apply the overclock to the non-OC version yourself, I'd only get the OC edition if it was the same price as non-OC, as the warranty will cover it in case of a problem without you having to OC it yourself.

i would go for the one that doesnt overclock. its bad for your system in the long run and wont last as long. but if i was to give even better adivce than that, get an ATI mate, they are the best graphical engineers out there

The aria's overclocked - and the one on overclockers isn't (which is odd, seeing as the overcloking site dosn't overclock) - but they look basically the same. (you can overclock on your own if you need to)
