Two Asus 7850's, what's the difference?

[Systemat1c]

Hey guys,

I've decided on an Asus 7850, because it's sitting at 188$ w/ free shipping..

Here are two 7850's though:

Asus 7850-DC2-2GD5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121623

Asus 7850-DC2-2GD5-V2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121651

Obviously the second one is version 2, probably just working out some kinks, but if anyone knows any major differences, let me know! Thanks!

EDIT: Being an ASUS fanboy, I just took a chance and ordered the version 2 of this card, I have high hopes for it! If anyone is interested, I'll post up a review of the card after I do some benching and record temps. IF anyone is interested, because this card is at an AWESOME price point!

the difference performance wise is a 10mhz underclock to the first card, but you can easilly add 100 mhz to each no problem and % wise it's negligible.

The real difference is the first had a single dvi and hdmi then 2 display ports, while the second has 2 dvi's and 2 hdmi's, so i'd have gone for it too.

Really Newegg, right after I order mine for 205 with shipping...?

Sigh.

The only difference I noticed was 10MHZ clock bump in version 1. Probably improved something on V2 and that overclock is negligible and can be done on your own.
