Its something u gotta be careful with, ,read the specifications closely and compare the cards.
quoting from another thread about roughly the same thing

some offer different things for instance some will have digital video outputs (to support lcd monitors) or tv out etc.
Also there is the 5200 and the 5200 Ultra and there is quite a big performance difference between them, i think its either to do with no. of pipelines or Bus frequency (i can't remember which)
But if u get 2 identical cards (in terms of features offered and in terms of memory, bus frequency) then there should be negligible performance difference between them, geforce and ati both monitor manufacturers closely so that they (geforce & ati) don't get a bad reputation

There may be NO difference in those cards...different companies sell them so they will have a different price...but AlWAYS check the specifications just to be sure
