EVGA 04G-P4-6251-KR - Where Has It Been Hiding?

I was looking around MicroCenter's Fairfax VA pages (window-shopping due to Amazon not being able to keep the EVGA 1050Ti Superclocked cards in stock) when I spotted the SKU in the title above (which is quite new - and therefore, quite odd). I actually would have expected it earlier (especially since it is lower than the Superclocked); why would EVGA wait until now to unveil it? While it is NOT overclocked from the jump (which the SC is), does it differ in any OTHER way? I'm keeping it in mind due to Amazon's stocking situation (and due to the reality that it's actually locally available) - has anyone bought one?

Looks like 64-76 MHz difference and that's all. Heck, I've seen 2 or 3 evga SKUs in the past with no discernible differences. I don't know why they do that.

Sometimes it's a minor heatsink revision. I saw that with a couple different 970 SKUs.

Look at the SSC and FTW - there is ONE difference other than price; the FTW requires that 6-pin or dual-Molex power connector (the SSC does not) despite them being identical otherwise. It will replace a GTX 550Ti (which uses a 6-pin power connector) - however, whether the replacement SHOULD require one (since the CPU that will drive it is a Pentium G3258) would be somewhat overkill - it would be like the same '58 driving a GTX 1080Ti.
