Difference between Gigabyte GTX 960 OC vs Windforce?

inneruniverse · Dec 25, 2015

I'm looking at Gigabyte's GTX 960s. They have two for the same price:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4gb OC
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Overclocked-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960WF2OC-4GD/dp/B00VBNT41G

and

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4gb Windforce
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Overclocked-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960WF2OC-4GD/dp/B00VBNT41G

They cost exactly the same... so what are the differences in them? Is one better than the other, or do both make a trade off?

The GTX 960 4gb OC is a shorter card and has a different cooler used. The trade off would be that windforce is longer but has a backplate and is clocked slightly faster and probably cools better.

What is the significance of a backplate?

inneruniverse :

The pcb doesn't sag overtime. Adds rigidity to the card mainly plus aesthetics.
