Accidentally purchased GTX 970 SC instead of SSC

[jerodquinn]

Hi - i was following a build guide and meant to purchase the SSC but accidentally got the SC. The difference in price is like $20 so not worried about that. Will the performance suffer? I've read you can just overclock the SC to match the SSC anyway so it doesn't matter.

Don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it (newegg) and waiting for another one if it's not going to make a difference. Let me know if you need more detail.

Thank you!

the difference is negligible at best. and using MSI afterburner or some other OC software you can easily fix the difference. even stock it might result in at most 1-2 FPS difference.
