Difference between these 2 cards

[Vivilacqua1]

Hello, I am wondering what the difference is between the XFX DD, and the XFX DD Black edition? Thanks!

Those aren't specific cards.

 

Which specific cards are you looking at?

oops, forgot to mention. The 290x ones

If it's anything like the 7970 then the black edition just has a better stock core clock, might be other differences though.

The black edition has 1050MHz core clock and the standard has 1000MHz core clock. The black edition also seems to have LEDs unlike the standard.

Core clock is increased by 50MHz on the Black Edition.
