ASUS Nvidia GTX 960: is there a difference between 90YV07N0-M0NA00 and STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I decided on making a new build, and for the GPU I'm kinda set on the ASUS Nvidia GTX 960 2GB (for reasons of preference for the brand and budget). However, as I was lurking web stores, I came across this odd thing.

I live in Brazil, so – especially now, when BRL is way devalued – there aren't that many good deals. But I found a somewhat okay price on a reliable Brazilian PC store named Kabum, except for the fact that, for some reason, they seem to have listed this GPU twice, with a considerable (~$50) price difference:

· As STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5, costing BRL 1100.
· As 90YV07N0-M0NA00, costing BRL 900.

Is there an actual difference there? The specs on those pages are exactly the same. But another thing that made me wary about the 90YV07N0-M0NA00 is that it's even cheaper than the GTX 950 2GB Strix, that's being sold for BRL 1025.

From that, what I could gather is that either the 90YV07N0-M0NA00 is another (worse) model, or someone on that company messed up when listing the products. If it's the latter, great.

Oh, and one last thing, would the GTX 960 2GB Turbo be better than the GTX 960 2GB Strix? It's also listed on the site under a weird model name: 90YV07N5-M0NA00, and cheaper than any of them.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, justanotherjose. Very interesting video, and point taken. But in this case there isn't much of a choice: that store only sells those two models of the 960 GTX (and of most other video cards as well) from ASUS: Turbo OC and Strix.

A follow up question on this whole thing: I was broadening my scope and checking the price of some Radeon video cards there, and I found that the ASUS Radeon R9 380 Strix 4GB (STRIX-R9380-DC2OC-4GD5-GAMING) is a bit more expensive (BRL 1100), but around the same price range as the 960 GTX 2GB mentioned above. Is it (that much) better?
