Difference between these two Sapphire 280xs...

[TheGFactor]

Hey everyone, I posted yesterday asking about an R9 280x Gigabyte card but a few users pointed me to the Sapphire cards, that run a bit more expensive. 

On de NewEgg, I see these two cards that look exactly the same...

except the first one is $10 more expensive. 
The only differences I can find is the price, the first one has 20MHz gain on the second, and that (for some reason) the two have different return policies. 

So if I were to buy the first one, would I really be paying $10 for only 20MHz? I can easily overclock...

Is there any other differences that I am missing? Thanks for the input.

American Newegg is odd.
I would buy the cheaper on if it's only GPU clock differences.

The 269,90 one seems to have a 20MHz higher baseclock.

And the also seem to have different packages.(259,90 one has a horizontal package with a HDMI cable)

The cheaper one uses mini-displayport and the more expensive one uses regular displayport.

The only difference is the stock clock speed of the card. Get the cheaper one and use afterburner to make up the difference, unless you really need a full size display port output.

Not much of a difference except that extra 10bucks gets you a fullsize DP. And an extra 20MHz of stock clockspeed. So I guess the extra 10bucks will save you from buying a DP adapter if need one.

one comes with an iron egg guarantee the other does not.

To be honest the Iron Egg does not mean anything for me at this point, but I didnt see that. Thanks.

Ah, didn't realize the difference in connectors. Thanks!
