Sapphire RX 5500 XT NITRO+ Special Edition

I had a successful build with an XFX RX590 but it was running far too hot whilst gaming in windows so I have decided to RMA it and replace it with an RX 5500 XT (similar performance, much lower temperatures). The standard Sapphire card is out of stock on Amazon and I'm impatient since with my setup I can't currently use iGPU for most of the tasks I do, however, the special edition is in stock (link here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Technology-11295-05-20G-Special-Graphics/dp/B082P6PNQ6/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=sapphire+pulse+5500+xt&qid=1600173381&quartzVehicle=107-1383&replacementKeywords=sapphire+pulse+5500&sr=8-6)

It seems to have a different port layout to most rx 5500 xt's, to my understanding, this is usually indicative of it not being the same as a reference card. Should I anticipate extra issues with the special edition card and if so, what?
