I've been watching GPU prices, specifically the GTX 770 4gb models, and have been wondering about GPU core clock cycles.
It appears that a change of 3% in boost clock cycles can yield a difference of 5% in the price, as is the case with these EVGA cards.

I think I've seen similar with Gigabyte and PNY offerings. So the question is, are these clock cycles work the extra cost?
