Hie all as was looking a for a graphics card for my system, i found the 4 different variants of gainward 960 ranging from $250 -$304 (Im in australia so pricey :) ) the only difference seems to be a slight variation in clockspeed would it just make sense to buy the $259 version use the change for something else or is the extra cash worth the FPS? im upgrading from a hd6950 2gb

games to play:
-metro last light redux
-crysis 3
-gta 4, 5 e.t.c
thanks for the help!

im not too keen on the $259 variant with the blower fan, i have been told they can be loud. the rest have twin fans and chunky heatsinks
