I just bought a Sapphire 3GB Radeon R9 280X OC DUAL-X Graphics Card from Maplin for £220
(http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/sapphire-amd-3gb-radeon-r9-280x-oc-dual-x-graphics-card-a30lx)

However, I've just seen the MSI TwinFrozr on scan.co.uk for cheaper (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-msi-radeon-r9-280x-gaming-3g-twin-frozr-oc-28nm-6000mhz-gddr5-gpu-1000mhz-boost-1050mhz-2048-str)

I've heard a lot of good things about the MSI TwinFrozr cards, so I'm wondering if its significantly better than the one I just bought? Is it worth returning the Sapphire card and ordering the MSI one?

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Well, the only difference is that the core clock on the MSI is 100 MHz higher than the sapphire. If it's worth saving the money, you could switch them.

Is it really a significant difference? With postage and everything, there's not much difference in price.
