Which is the revised version again?

i think they are exactly the same.. just a different layouts..
 
The difference here is single slot vs dual slot. The second one has dual DVI ports. As said, different layout/expansion ports. You'll know the revisions, v1 the entire card is encased in the cooler, whereas v2 has the "egg shaped" cooler. Powercolor just decided against the standard cooler and looks like put on a bigger fan.
 
There are different versions of the egg-shaped cooler as well. On some cards, the "pointed" end of the egg-shaped cooler is closer to the end w/ the ports on other cards it's on the end closer to the power connector.
 
I dont know if this is the actual difference, but it would appear that the Diamond version is shorter and has DUAL Crossfire connections for CrossfireX where as the Powercolor only has 1.

Besides that Im thinking that the other difference are primarily just choice of manufacturer...though it does strike me as odd just the total differences...shorter card and 2 Crossfire connections would point it out as being the "newer" revision.
