Why is the MSI card £100 more? I see the clock speed is the tiniest bit higher, but that's it? Am I paying £100 more for the brand? Will I notice any difference in performance going for the Gainward card? Thanks

I can think of a couple reasons:
1)Yes, it holds a higher binned chip, which doesn't come out to much these days, unless in LN2 overclocking, perhaps.
Gaming Z is of a higher bin than Gaming X, but that's it.

2)Some brands are more/less expensive in varying regions, because of import taxes and the like.
