Powercolor 6870 1GBD5-2DH vs 1GBD5-M2DH

[llee8820]

Does anyone know the difference between the Powercolor 6870 1GBD5-2DH vs 1GBD5-M2DH models? The product details are listed on their website, but I can't seem to find a difference between them. URL is http://www.powercolor.com/us/products_layer_2.asp?SeriesID=70&Page=2

Thanks.

...besides the obvious that cooler\heatsink design is different?


One is most likely a skimped version of the reference card - with corners cut, so it "JUST" takes care of stock clocks.

Which one in your opinion is the skimped version? the 2DH or the M2DH? I just had a second RMA done on this card and I originally had the 2DH. This time they sent me the M2DH which besides the obvious fan/design difference, I don't know what the difference is. And I'll be pissed if they send my a older model or skimped out version.

I would think the M2DH is the better card, it at least vents everything out the back of the case.

Whatever one it is that resembles the reference design of other AIB manufacturers.

Unless you can find an indepth review that states the fan in the middle version(which im guessing is not the reference) is somehow a beefed version.
