so new egg offers a gigabyte g1 gaming 970 and a gigabyte windforce 970

 

they look the same to me, and i didn't realise they were 2 different cards until now. specs says they are the same and i cant find the difference anywhere even on gigabytes own site.

 

can anyone tell me? 

 

i don't plan on buying these just curious.
