What is the difference between these 2 GTX 960 Models?

[cmduplain]

So I have all the parts gathered for the PC im building, but im having trouble distinguishing the difference between these two GTX 960 4GB models. One is made by MSI, while the other is made EVGA. Both are GTX 960s with 4GB of ram, however the MSI version is 40 bucks cheaper. I plan on pairing my GPU with an AMD FX 3850 and MSI DDR3 Gaming Motherboard. Will they have any difference in performance despite the price gap?

MSI GTX 960 4GB OC:

EVGA GTX 960 4GB SSC:

Mainly, higher clock out the box, in this case the EVGA wins with higher clock.

PD: Why not new RX 480? (i mean, for the same price and competitive with the GTX 970).

the evga has a higher core clock is about it

There's not a huge difference between the two in regards to gaming performance. I believe the Twin Frozr cooler on the MSI card is better than the eVGA cooler but not significantly.
