Looking at the spec sheets for v1 and v2 they're identical so perhaps v2 just has newer bios and that warrants calling it V2. Edit... Spotted the difference, V1 has RGB Spectrum 16.8 million colours and V2 has RGB Fusion but only has 16.7 millions colours.....wtf....did they pay someone to count each colour. Also the software for each version is slightly different with a note (*The interface and functionality of the software is subject to each model.)....they must be struggling for ideas.

The cards are different. I had the rev1 but I got it with pcb warped out the box. Sent it back and have replaced it with rev2. See there is no coil wine at all. Power connector is in a different place and the boards are different. Seems to still be limited info as to what has changed.the driver disc is different in the box has AORUS picture on it and AORUS driver. The coolers are also different in terms of heat sinks and not the front cover of the heat sink. Any info further investigation would be much appreciated ...
