GPU Clock = Gaming Performance?

[lkkgg72200812]

Does higher GPU clock setting means better gaming performance????
I'm trying to purchase a GTX960 and I'm not sure if I should go with EVGA with higher core clock or GIGABYTE G1 GAMING?

HELP PEEPS!!!

The differences between stock clocks are minor. Best thing for you to do is to get the card with the biggest cooler and manually overclock it yourself.

^^ Best cooler + cheapest + overclock it

(OC usually brings quite nice performance boost, sometime up to 35-40% depending on the aggressiveness of the overclock and overvolt. )

yeah cooler matters, but also check the power design of the card~ you want to make sure the card's got power to get that boost in gaming performance you're looking for
