theres nothing wrong with them … identical in spec ( bar slight factory base oc perhaps.
The only difference is yours exhausts out the back … the 2 you showed exhaust into the case.
The coolers for the internal exhaust cards probably do a better job at keeping the cards temps down.
As you have a CM storm sniper from memory, you’ll have more than adequate case air flow so id grab one of the price is right for you. Id say your card has base clocks to … so if the other card has a factory oc … it will atuo “underclock” to match the slower card.
Personally , after having 4850s with internal exhaust, then 4870’s exhausting out the back ( like your 4890) … i prefer the latter. Plus having a window i think it looks cleaner with a shroud imo. Performance wise means bugger all imo for a few degrees of cooling at most
