If this is the graphics card you're referring to, then it uses the 8500LE gpu that runs at 250/250Mhz while the Ati R8500 Retail uses the 8500 gpu that runs at a higher rate of 275/275Mhz. The Ati R8500 Retail also oc higher than the other card even without mem heat-spreaders, cuz it runs hynix mem at 3.6ns while the Apollo uses 4.0ns mem. I hope this helps.

Yeah it does look really cool, if only all Ati cards looked like this.
