The difference is the clock speeds. These are out of the factory speeds which you can easily change, the difference between the cards' clockspeeds is so small all cards will be able to achieve those speeds. Get the cheaper one.

So I've been planning to buy a gtx 1070 and I've come across two different ones. I'm unsure of which to buy as the specs seem the same and they both come with Watch Dogs 2. As one is $20 cheaper would I be giving up any performance between the two? Thanks for any feedback.

 

The cards:

One of the cards has a slightly overclock. I would buy the cheaper one and overclock in manually.
