Hi,

A quick one

I decided to buy one of those two Asus cards

1- ASUS Cerberus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB GDDR5 (CERBERUS-GTX1050TI-O4G)

2-ASUS Cerberus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Advanced Edition 4GB GDDR5 (CERBERUS-GTX1050TI-A4G)

They are at the same price.

I cannot figure out what is meant by (ADVANCED) and I am curious about it.

I donnot care much about OC,This is supposed to be a temporary card.

It's really not any different than Evga, you have the SC, SSC and FTW-D. Normally you'd think the SSC was the big boy, and the FTW-D just a marketing trick. In reality, the FTW is the big boy, it's not only built for manual OC but goes through strict binning processes. If it fails even 1 test by any measure, it's relabled a FTW-D and set at SC clocks. So the big, fancy card is low man on the totem pole.

In Asus case, you have basic, advanced and OC. I'd bet money that during the binning, any chipsets that fail on the OC gpu end up as either advanced or basic models. The OC model has the highest clocks, will be the best performing gpu out of the box. You'd have to manually OC either of the other cards to get the same levels, if they'll...
Every single 1050 Ti is basically the same and only the cooling solutions differ as well as clock speeds (not by very much, just marginal). From these 2, either will do. From the founders edition they only offer 1% increase on GPU clock and 2% increase on boost clock.
 
Same card except the OC version is just that, the base clock and boost clocks for OC mode and gaming mode are higher than the Advanced version. There's probably a 3rd card out there that's not OC or Advanced but just Basic, that's got clocks lower. So you'd see Basic->Advanced->OC, each card getting progressively stronger. You also might find that on the OC version there's an extra heatpipes, slightly different fans that are more powerful, slightly bigger heatsink etc.

But that'll usually only mean a few fps increase, the OC version is probably better at manual OC,which'll get you a few more.

Not unheard of to OC a card high enough to start approaching the clocks of the next size up, in this case a gtx1060.
 
The cards looks identical to each other .At the end they are just subsidiary of the same brand(Cerberus) of the same card from the same company .
But I love to tweak things (Especially hardware wise). So I wouldn't be happy if I discovered that the (Advanced version) had unique stuff and I went to the OC version(Which is useless in this case).
I couldn't find anything about it on the web (It isn't even on Amazon) . I would go for it to be honest as It seems a bit special (That AD naming got into my head lol)
