Hi,

What are the differences between these two cards?

At $330

vs.
At $185

1. The price difference is $145, but why? Is the expensive one worth it?

2. My budget is around $200 and I am leaning toward the second option (the $185 card). What other cards should I consider? Main purpose is video editing, photoshop, some gaming as well. No need for two cards ever.

Is the only difference the core clock of 1050 MHz vs 1000 MHz?
Actually, I won't spend more than $200 on it anyway, just because I am not into heavy or even moderate gaming.
Would a HD 7750 or HD 7770 be good enough for video editing? Will HD7870 be overkill for my purpose?
For videos, it is mostly home and vacation HD videos using Sony Vegas, etc. Nothing serious.
