I am looking at going with ASUS for my 3090 but noticed there are two different cards

With a pretty significant price difference. Looking at the clock speeds they both look the same and they even seem to have the same everything just design aesthetics look different. I feel for $200 I have to be missing something? Everyone is telling me the “RGB BRUH” which I just can’t believe. I just want to make an informed decision before I pull the trigger


I am also aware that the ROG is like the “premium” brand but I don’t want to pay that much of an up charge just for the “premium” if that makes sense. Most of my PC is ROG but I don’t feel like I got taxed like that just for the branding which is why I feel I’m missing something

I am not looking for benchmarks or such as we do not have those yet, I just feel like for the $200 price tag I am missing something huge here... or maybe I am just not willing to accept that our world is all about looks/rgb lol.

Also my board has pcie 3, from all of my research I shouldn't be bottlenecked ALL that much is that correct? I mean the rest of the system is all new ryzen 9, 32 gb of ram etc so nothing else would be of issue
