difference between these two gpus?

[Matt_Twinkletoes]

I bet this is a really dumb question but if you look on pcpartpicker and go to r9 280s there is two sapphire versions that look exactly a same just a slightly different name and same price tag. Thinking this just might be a mistake on the website's part but I don't know, just want to make sure if i'm getting the right one sense I'm getting a sapphire r9 280.

They're the same card. Derp on Newegg's part.

Maybe it's a 2nd gen of the same card?

yup that's the truth.

 

its probably the 2nd iteration of the card hence the 100373L becoming 100373-2L and the 2nd one is shorter in length with only 10.28" rather than 10.31"

both are basically the same card. but the newer release is probably better

which one is the newer one?

the one with -2L on the end, most likely.

 

I looked really hard, and the differences seem minor, but the -2L may have some tweaks that either cut manufacturing costs, or improve performance. the length and width changes may be human error as they are so close.
