I see two GPUs here. $20 dollars apart, and they are almost identical. The a different clock speed, I think.

Can someone tell me the difference here? Is the $20 dollars worth it?

The more expensive one is the better card by 100Mhz, but if you're scrimping on pennies, save the $20. Is an extra 100Mhz worth $20? Hard to say -- it really depends on how much money you have to spend here and what you would spend the money on otherwise.

Well, I have only $130.

I was wondering, how big is ther performance difference between the speeds?

Is it humanly noticable?

about 2-4FPS most likely. you could do that OC easily with Ati-tool though so its a waste to get the 20 dollar one.

Never buy into the whole higher clocks. They are EASILY reachable through an OC.
