Awesome! I had ordered the SOLID CORE SFF OC from Amazon for $829.99, but the main difference between it and SOLID CORE (non-SFF, non-OC) is a boost clock of 2482 MHz, instead of 2452 MHz; I'm actually shocked that they bothered with making a separate version over a 30Mhz overclock. That is not going to be noticeable, and, while $67.99 isn't a huge price difference, it's not nothing. Luckily, the Amazon one wasn't due to arrive until August 10th, so I just cancelled that order, and grabbed this one.
I did like that the SFF version was dual-slot, vs triple-slot, but the new motherboard I just ordered only has three expansion slots total (way too few PCI-E lanes available these days, with SSDs needing them as well...), so it shouldn't be an issue. For anyone that absolutely needs a dual-slot card, Amazon is still offering it at that price.
Just hoping the non-OC version isn't their way of dumping bad silicon, since I didn't even know they made one until now - I hadn't seen it for sale anywhere aside from this deal, though it is listed on TechPowerup.
EDIT: Well, Sonuvabitch, they cancelled my purses my order "due to a system error", and now it's out of stock. Back to Amazon I go☹️
Damn, if I had waited one more day, I could have ordered it from them directly along with my new CPU, motherboard and RAM, and gotten a further discount for bundling...
