Other models usually have an axial fan in the middle and are cheaper non-reference design that will blow some hot air back into your case.
Memory Express has a sale on this weekend ... the eVGA GTX460 1GB card (ending in TR) is on sale for $220. The one ending in AR is regular priced at $260.

The only difference I see is that the $260 version (ending in AR) has an external exhaust. Other than that they have the same specs.

Does the external exhaust help much? My Antec900 case is super well cooled already.

Is it worth $40 for the lifetime warranty?
