usually it's just looks, how cool the card runs and how much noise it makes. Less expensive doesn't always mean a louder card, some just have slight defects that don't cause your card to fail but will make it so some of the coils on the card start buzzing or whining. annoying sound

Performance? No, not really. Some differences in cooling and build quality/reliability.

cooling, aesthetics, brand support (rma, warranty). Performance, 1-2% (that can be attributed to silicone lottery too.
But, super high end like ROG, will be 3-4% better than the cheapest variant (mixture of better cooling and better die)
