Absolutely pronounced the same, but Caspar is a name with a long, proud history whereas Casper sounds like someone who *casps* for a living. And Cas is a good nn. Where I live, it gets pronounced pretty much like Cusper and it shortens to what sounds like Cuss; since we don't use the word 'cuss' here, that doesn't matter, and if you don't use the Cusper pronunciation it shouldn't matter there either.

I know a retired man who traces his ancestry back for centuries: he's Caspar, and so is his grandson; he named his own son after his father, and his grandson will no doubt do the same. Nice man; nice story; nice pattern.
