Hi! :hello:

I am planning on buying a VGA and I have two questions.

1) I noticed 2 versions of EVGA GTX 460 SC were available.... One with the caption "EE(External Exhaust)" and the other a regular GTX 460.

What is the difference between these two cases?? Is there a notable difference in cooling between these two cards?? Is there a greater dust accumulation in the EE card compared to the regular card??
I Have a standard issue Inwin Fanqua with 4 fans and with NO liquid cooling for any components.



2) The EVGA GTX 465 SC and the 460 SC are priced the same, but the 460 has higher Memory and GPU clock speeds while the 465 has more CUDA cores.... which is better in terms of performance and lifespan ??




Thanks in Advance! :)
