Graphics Card Help

[sam13lfc]

Not the most exciting topic but, what is the difference between an nVIDIA GeForce and an Inno 3D nVIDIA GeForce graphic card? Are Inno 3D just the manufacturers or is it a different type of card altogether?

Any help is much appreciated!

Most likely thing is that Inno 3D are a company who buy stock nVidia cards and then modify them somehow, typically they up the default clock speed (i.e. overclock)and they occasionally change/add RAM to the cards, but I can't help you specifically in this case!

NVidia is the company that designs the card, while Inno 3D is a manufacturer like EVGA, Sapphire, or XFX. The manufacturers license the card design from nVidia and build the actual cards. Some manufacturers make modifications to the card like adding a different cooler or overclocking it from the factory but the card designs are generally the same.

This one is correct. NVidia designs the cards, but is not the company who physically manufactures them for distribution/sales.

This.

Also it will be made apparant if the manufacturers make any changes to the card, such as factory overclocking. Genrally thought its only going to be asthetically that the cards differ.
