GTX 1080 Founders Edition or Strix?

[Noah M]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a difference between the NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce 1080 and the ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 ROG Strix 8GB GDDR5X. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

strix is no-brainer, founder is slower but factory adjusted is faster. Hands down

founders cards can be a good option in some cases with restricted space or airflow or in sli configurations because 90% of the gpu heat is exhausted out of the case.

In a half decent tower case though with a single gpu & at the same price there is absolutely no reason to pick it over the strix if you have room for it,its a far better card.
