difference between 7870 ghz oc and 7870 ghz dual x

[xjusan]

So I recently bought a 7870 ghz oc ediition. I was expecting this http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1160&pid=1487&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

but then I got this http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1160&pid=1744&psn=&lid=1&leg=0 which I think the memory if nerfed out. Any difference between this ? exept for memry mhz
and also the perfomance?

The first one has a better cooler. You paid for the OC edition, that's what you should get.

I think they are both ghz oc edition clocked at 1050 mhz, my concern ia the dual x edition only has 4800 mhz effective. I dont know if it doea affect thw performance. and I still dont know if I got the good one or not, and by the way, their price is pretty much similar. I think.

The higher memory clock is probably negligible, but it does have a better cooler. I would want to have the 5000MHz one over the 4800MHz one, especially if I paid for the 5000MHz one.

so the dual x edition has a better cooler? then maybe i should stick with this one because heat is my concern.

Well, technically they're both Dual-X. But the 5000 MHz one has the better cooler, the one you were supposed to get, not the one you got.
