MSI 6800 Gaming Trio v1 vs v2
Anybody know what the difference between the v1 and v2 are? How do you tell which you have?

I actually got and installed the V1 a few days ago for a friend. I believe the difference is the V2 only has two 8 pins while the V1 needs 3.

They both suck cuz cooler is missing coldplate and the heatpipes barely have contact, resulting in massive GPU Core to Hotspot Deltas.
Dont buy them, get a Sapphire, XFX or PowerColor

Can confirm. I I have a Ggaming Z Trio V1 and the cooler is shit. 42c delta when overclocked.... repasted and shimmed the cros bracket for extra pressure and it made almost no difference. 36c delta... at least it costed me nothing. I sold my rx 6750 just before price drop and got the 6800 at no extra cost.

Probably no important differences. It will be on the sticker on box, or maybe label on back of gpu. Or maybe stored in bios that GPUz can read.
