I know that GDDR5 graphics cards are better, but say how much better are they.

Like if you had a like for like specification graphics card but one was GDDR5 and one was GDDR3 how much better would the GDDR5 one be??

I notice a price hike when going from one to the other too, is it worth it?

I realise to many of you this will be a noobish question, Thanks in advance :)

I was looking at cards around the £70-110 mark and the £70 GDDR3 ones seem to be the same as the GDDR5 ones which are 30-40 more. I was wanting to do some gaming with the card really.
 
Ok thanks, I'll look up cards benchmarks too instead of just looking at their spec.

Do any of you know a good graphics card benchmark website?
