[SOLVED] Are these two the same GPU?

[waynelugames]

Can someone inform me about the difference between the two RTX 2080 GPU. One is from EVGA and the other is from MSI. The EVGA one allows a deal that throws in a 1000w Gold PSU.

Would https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487414 or https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137340 would be the best for my money?

CPU: Ryzen 7 1800X
GPU: RX 580 GB
MB: PRO-VH PLUS
PSU: Some crappy 500w

The two cards are essentially the same from a performance point of view.
The EVGA offer gets you a very good tier 2 psu which you are going to need.

Thank you! Would you say the build quality is the same? If so which one of the versions would you recommend?

RTX2080 cards all come from the same source, namely nvidia.
They differ in how fancy the coolers are and the amount of factory overclock.
I think you get good value from the factory overclocked cards but avoid the maximally overclocked versions.
If you need that power, but the stronger RTX2080ti in the first place.

The effectiveness of any cooler is dependent on your case.
It needs good airflow for the cpu and gpu coolers to do their job.
I would look for a case with at least two 120/140mm front intakes with a washable filter.

I have two front 120mm intakes that I can upgrade to 140mm, and one 120mm exhaust.
All I want right now is the ability to play AAA games on max at 144fps to match my monitors 144hz at 1080p. From the link I sent would the 3 fan EVGA RTX 2080 be a good choice? Or would 2 fan be better for my money and purpose?

I do not see links here.

I do not put much stock in how many fans a card has.
Whatever is used will be appropriate to the card.

I like 140mm fans, they push more air at lower rpm and are quieter.
Since you already have two 120mm, try that out.
It is not hard to replace them if you need to later.
Only a single 120mm is good, it directs the airflow to the rear and out the case.
Whatever air comes in the front will exit SOMEWHERE taking component heat with it.
Adding more exhaust will tend to draw in unfiltered air from adjacent openings.
