Is there any difference between the ''green'' Redrocket card and the new ''red'' Redrocket????? Or it's just the color??????

The green Redrockets were pre-production models I believe. All production models should be on red printed circuit boards.

Thank you Eric for your responce but still I can't understand it. What differences can a pre-production have to a production Redrocket card???? Can we have an answer from RED, to clarify the subject????? Thanks in advance.

Typically pre production or concepts aren't as finally detailed as the final product. I'm assuming wherever the boards come from they came green, and until the cards were perfect, then they took the time to make them cosmetically pleasing.

I have both and they work flawlessly. The GREEN one for 3 years now - don't spread NONSENSE>

the color of the board has NOTHING to do with the quality. I think they switched 1/2 way thru production because it LOOKS cooler. thats it.

Until RED says otherwise. I would IGNORE people claiming the green is PRE PRODUCTION. Because they were production units and sold as such.

Sorry Tim, I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I don't spread nonsense - I was going by Red's own video on Red.com:

I did NOT say that there was necessarily anything non-functional or functionally different about green pcb Red Rockets, although I can see how you might have read my post like that.

There's absolutely no difference between these except the color of the board. We could simply get the green ones out quicker, so decided to not make you wait any longer :)

Green pcb rocket card was working fine, then died when upgrading to Epic supporting firmware.
Red pcb replacement rocket arrived with $3000 bill and this sticker.
Old card worked fine with older firmware, funny that the Red pcb card does not.
I wouldnt be so sure that there are no differences.
