Couldn't find anything on this topic but i was just wondering (besides the size) what the hell is the difference between an XFX hd 6870 and the XFX hd 6870 Double D? Compared them both side by side on newegg and all i could see is the size so can someone explain to me why the Double d is 10 dollars more.

The Double D probably has a better cooler than the plain 6870, allowing the card to run cooler, and offer better overclocking potential.
