What's the difference between these two cards?

Both of those cards support gsync.

The main difference is in the overclock of the cards. The G1 is overclocked higher than the other. I believe the G1 also has an extra heatpipe for the VRMs. I'd say it is worth the $20. It's a 5fps increase or so compared with a stock 970.

i have never used it myself so can't say for sure. i believe it simply locks the fps at a set rate to prevent as many stuttering issues as it can, but i would not quote me on that :) i do know the monitor also has to be gsync for it to work. so if you do not have the monitor, then the extra is not worth it.

not sure how i missed the clock speed. i stand corrected and clearly it is time for me to go to bed.

my apologies for the misinformation. looking again and the clock speed difference jumps right out at me :(

so in conclusion, what they said and not what i said :)
