I don´t have that card myself but with Gigabyte it usually goes like this:
First they release the stock card with stock cooler.
Then they release the stock card with their WF3 cooler installed but everything else (including the PCB) is left stock.
Next up is a slightly modified PCB + WF3 cooler. Usually they call this Rev. 02 or something.
Some time later they release a heavily modified version. Custom cooler, custom PCB, backplate and highly overclocked.
