Usually it's in the cooling. Some will have 2 fans, some with 3. Others will actually have an entire closed loop liquid cooler. Sometimes the vram will also change but that doesn't happen a lot these days. A lot of the time it's just marketing wank though. It's a good idea to look at video reviews of the specific models you want to buy though, as there are sometimes issues with specific cards from specific 3rd parties that you wouldn't know about otherwise.
This. Sound was an important factor for me, and so I picked the general family(s) and narrowed down from there, but whether the processor is tuned to 3.4GHz or 3.5GHz isn't something that's going to affect performance in any human-noticable way for 99% of games.
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm not cool enough to understand the difference and I definitely won't be maxing it out. Thanks
