"I've got to" is more colloquial. It's a bit redundant, so it shouldn't be used in academic writing.
That's pretty much the only difference. They mean the same thing.

Obviously wrong

They both mean the same. The only difference is that "I've" is a contraction word for "I have" And you wouldn't put "I have" (or I've) with the word "got" since you are already saying that you have to do something.
If you are written a paper, you should use "I have to make an effort." But if you are speaking it, you can use whichever one you prefer either "I have to make an effort" or "I've to make an effort."
Example of other contraction words are:
aren't ----- are not
can't ----- can not
didn't ---- did not
she'll ----- she will
he's ------ he is
we'll ------ we will

@WindBlossom Except that we never use "I've" that way without the extraneous "got", which is where it starts to get iffy in terms of grammatical validity. ;)

@us4gi You are correct! I completely skipped over the word "got" 😅 Thank you for pointing that out! \^•^/
