MHz worth the money?

[SE4N]

Hey guys,

Is it worth £20 for an extra 500MHz GDDR5 and 85MHz GPU.

Not sure whether to get: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-asus-radeon-hd-7970-directcu-ii-5500mhz-gddr5-28nm-gpu-925mhz-2048-cores-2x-dvi-4x-displayport-p

or

Thanks.

Most of the time that smal increase is not worth it. But the TOP version(more expensive one) has better components and better cooling as well.

Then again, I would just get the normal DCII.

Thanks.

both cards have the same gpu..what your seeing is a vendor custom binning there gpu and ram. for speed your not going to see anything in games...may be a few points higher on gpu tests. use the 20.00 for ssd or better case or mb.
