What's the difference between nVidia graphics cards like the nVidia GeForce's and nVidia based chipset graphics cards like Gainward, Galaxy, ASUS etc.?
 
Really, there is no difference. Nvidia manufactures the chip but any company can buy the rights to use the chip in their cards.
 
It's been a while but i know some time ago you could buy video cards with the "brand" name chip set at a lot lower price than the original Manuf. I found that some "features" were deliberatly turned off in the chip and sold at a much lower price. That may..or maynot be the way it is now.
