Yes, there will be a difference if you're into benchmarking. If you're into gaming and your resolution is 1920 or less both cards have sufficinet muscle to produce playable framrates in today's titles. Everything that is steadily above 40 fps is playble, everything above 60 fps is completly meaningles, except to benchmark fanatics.

 

Plus Nvidia, can give you some more eye candy with physix.

 

BTW, I'm not a special Nvidia fanboy, I own a Radeon 4850.

 

umm, those are GAMING benchmarks, not synthetic hence, it will give you better gaming performance. And turning on physx using only 1 nvidia GPU yields a substantial performance hit.

 

And the OCC graphs show avg FPS. having an avg of 60 means there are some dips probably into the 20's and 30's which is way to low for most enthusiasts
