Hey guys so i got a question about the MSI GTX 980. I am doing some research on what version of this card i should get but while researching i came across 2 different variants of this card:

MSI GeForce GTX 980 GTX 980 GAMING 4G G-SYNC Support Video Card: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127834

MSI GeForce GTX 980 GTX 980 GAMING 4G LE Video Card: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127840

Now besides the obvious in clock speeds what are the actual differences between these 2 cards their is a $30 price difference (BTW these are Canadian Prices).
Is it because the more expensove one has higher quality parts or what
I'm just a bit confused as to what the differences are :??:

Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Please and thank you
