Is it worth it?

[Logtrop]

I'm looking to get either the:
"Sapphire HD7790 1GB GDDR5" or the "Sapphire HD7790 1GB GDDR5 oc"

Now currently the factory overclocked version is around £11 more on the site I always buy from and I want to spend as little as possible for this build.

I would like to get the factory overclocked one but is it worth it?

This is the standard one:

And this is factory overclocked version:
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b1617/sapphire-hd-7790-dual-x-oc.html

I can see there is an increase in stuff like Memory clock, CPU clock, Bandwidth and so on. But I don't really understand by looking at them how much of a difference it would make when playing a game? Will the increase on that Factory Overclocked version be highly noticeable or barely noticeable? Is it a small increase and not worth the extra money?

Also would it not be better to get the standard one and clock it to match the factory oc'd one?


Thanks in advance.

Yes it is, also 11 pounds is not allot of money for the most important component in your computer
