Difference is the cooler used and the settings in core and memory. You can overclock the Dual-X to be the same clock and memory speed. The Dual-X cooelr should be fine.

I would say the Vapor-x is worth the extra 10-15 dollars if you do not want to OC.

There is also a Tri-X version of the card that is OCed as well. Fits in between the two models listed.

Overclocking will just shorten the life of the Dual-X and I don't want that. I better go for vapor-x then?

The vapor-X is technically factory overclocked for you anyway, there no difference in lifespan.
Dual-X and Vapor-X uses the same gpu chip. It's just one is overclocked higher out of the box.

The vapor also has better cooling, but as Suztera stated...as long as you do not go crazy OCing the dual and watch the temps, they will last about the same.
