2% is nothing, just saying, the 2 cards are ALMOST as powerfull, dépending of wich game they tested my one will be better than the other.
The 280 got more vram and a bigger bus, so she can be the best on the biggest games, while the 285 will be better on mantle games (do we care ?).. but the 2 are still mid-range cards so don't expect to play to FC4 in full ultra.

Just no, I can tell you in full ultra without the maximum AA you got 55/60 fps with a gtx 980.. and the game runs better on nvidia.
When FC3 came out, I had a 7970ghz (its a 280x), and it was hard to maintain 60 fps in ultra, so FC4..
Too many sites are so full of crap...

The 285 added DCC (Delta Color Compression) which gave a significant mem. bandwidth boost. The 285 was also a newer iteration of GCN (unofficially dubbed GCN 1.2) which brought forth an improved tessellation engine for better tessellation performance in games that support/utilize it.
That being said, both are great performers for the $ and I'd say just go with whichever one you can find cheapest.

How is memory bandwidth important for pcsx2 ? How did you check it ?

Its important when you want the higher res.
