What is the Difference between these 2 EVGA GTX 1070s??

I don't mind blower cards but the pascal cards there not doing as good and with NVidia gpu boost 3 used on pascal cooling is critical more then before

its not like the older say mvidia GPU boost 2 like on 900 series and below and with gpu boost 3 thermal throttling comes easy

''To start, Pascal clockspeeds are much more temperature-dependent than on Maxwell 2 or Kepler. Kepler would drop a single bin at a specific temperature, and Maxwell 2 would sustain the same clockspeed throughout. However Pascal will drop its clockspeeds as the GPU warms up, regardless of whether it still has formal thermal and TDP headroom to spare. This happens by backing off both on the clockspeed at each individual voltage point, and backing off to...

Specs wise...nothing, really. Just a different look. But unless you're specifically needing a blower model for your case cooling, I suggest this better and cheaper model (I use it myself): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KVZBNY0/?tag=pcpapi-20
(Might not be $25 cheaper in your country, if not US)
That, or mostly all the non-blower models have better core clocks and cooling, and over all a better option over these two.

maybe just the shroud and the PCB like a founders card uses a NVIDIA pcb and the evga gaming uses a evga made PCB

the founders is a ''true'' NVidia reference card , but in the end may be more cosmetic then anything else they bouth meet NVidia reference specs in the end

and looks like that founders card comes with a backplate if that means anything to you [check newegss pictures of the back of the cards ]

each card will still have the same full evga warrantee .. so I would say out side of the back plate on the founders 1/2 of one is as good as the other on that

I got to agree the cooling of the pascal ''reference '' coolers kinda sucks not as good as was on older series

then you could invest in a hybrid kit for that card if needed

The EVGA blower card uses a blower cooler of evga design. Likely because they can make one cheaper than the official nvidia design.

I happen to like blower coolers. They do a better job of getting gpu heat directly out the back of your case.
Fan type coolers do a good job of cooling the gpu, but they need the assistance of good case cooling to get heat out of the case.

to me I'd get the best cooler solution available you may be well disappointed in the reference blower cooler on a pascal card

[opinion]

with rebates you can get a ''better'' aftermarket card from evga with a higher base and boost clocking guaranteed minimum out of the box ?
