This one is slightly more powerful as it is clocked at a higher speed.

Is there anything else apart the fact for overclocking , cause its larger and it has an extra one 8-pin external power ( which i dont know why )

It is a bigger card - has 2 bigger fans - it was made for mid-size or full-size cases. It also requires 6-pin and 8-pin because it is clocked higher thus it consumes more power.

The smaller card is made for miniTowers or mITX cases with limited space - it is the same GPU but underclocked, with two little fans to provide some kind of cooling but keep the length small and has only 6-pin because it doesn't use much power b/c it's only slightly overclocked.

if not overlocked it will stay the same performance , same fps ?

Getting the bigger card will give you approximately 5-8% more performance + it has a better cooling ability.

If the small card is much cheaper or if you don't have much space in your case then go for the smaller card. Otherwise, go for the big one as it has better cooling.

Also, are you set on Gigabyte only? There are many other brands out there like MSI and EVGA which also make awesome coolers.

the small one is available and cheaper , otherwise i'll wait for like 2months for the big one .

EVGA not available in my country , and i only found MSI GTX 960 2GO

i won't overlock since im playing on a 1600x900 and high is enough for me , ultra isnt a problem


i just thought that big one will get me like 10-20fps more .

No, not at all. The bigger one will only give you a slight edge that's it. Its benefit is mostly cooling due to the 2 large fans.

MSI Twin Frozr GTX 960 2GB is a very nice card btw.
