What's the difference between this graphics card and the other identical one with sku 6618665. Isn't it the same one? Thanks null

The SKU 6618665 corresponds to a listing tagged “OC PLUS” in the reviews/Q&A (see BestBuy Q&A). One user says: “The OC plus has slightly better cooling. Trio OC Plus has 5 core heat pipes compared to 4 in the trio OC model.” 
So: “OC” vs “OC PLUS” in MSI’s naming typically means a factory overclock variant + possibly enhanced cooling or higher build quality.
The standard “OC” version may have a slight difference in thermal solution (fewer heat-pipes), possibly a slightly lower clock or more conservative binning, though GPU core spec may appear identical.
The SKU you mentioned might be the “OC PLUS” version whereas the “regular” one is plain “OC”.
If the one you’re comparing is the regular OC version, yes it is “basically” the same as the OC PLUS version in many key specs (GPU, memory, architecture).
But if you want the “best” version (cooling/overclock headroom) then the OC PLUS (SKU 6618665) is the superior pick, worth verifying the listing says “OC PLUS”.
In practical gaming use the difference maybe small (a few MHz or a few degrees Celsius). Unless you’re overclocking heavily, the standard OC will serve well.
