Ok so, I'm looking through amazon for this card and I was orginally planning to buy a Sapphire 7850 2GB for $180. But there is another one, HIS 7850 2GB that is $140. This could save me some money. Is the extra $40 worth it? Will I be seeing a real decent performance boost? I'm tight on money atm and want to save as much as I can, but still get a good card that will last me a year+.

PC Specs:
i5-4670k (CPU)
Asus Z87-A (MOBO)
NZXT 410 (Case)
Corsair TX750 (PSU)
ADATA 64GB (SSD)
1TB 7200RPM (HDD)

There is absolutely no difference in cards, in terms of actual architecture.
Most companies will jew a extra buck by "factory overclock" which you can do yourself.
The pricetag usually makes up the cooling on the card too, if you wanna save money just buy the HIS

Well I think the Sapphire has a tiny bit of an edge but not much at all xD Also Sapphire is more reputable. But yeah $40 extra is quite a hefty chunk :L
