| Difference between AMD partner products explained One reader asked me recently what difference is there between AMD's own cards and ones from its partner companies, also using AMT graphics chips. We asked the firm. When you decide to buy a graphics card, the choice is not only Nvidia versus AMD, it's also often from which vendor to buy the card, after having chosen a given GPU model number. But given the same GPU chip type, is there really a big performance difference to be expected - if any - by buying, say a Gainward branded card versus a Connect3D one, just to give two examples? Of course, one card manufacturer can choose to release a DVI only version while removing the analogue connector, and other such basic decision about connectors and cooling, but other than that, what's the point of going card manufacturer A versus B?. Good question! http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36082
