There is no real difference in the performance of the two cards. The
retail card has the software bundle while the OEM version has just the
card and the drivers. I myself, bought the OEM because I felt that I
didnt need the titles that where in the retail version.

The extra 2mb of texture memory are only used if the software mfg.
has written specificly for the extra 2mb of memory which results in a
finer detail.
