[SOLVED] how big is the difference?

[kooiankeen]

is there a big difference between zotac rtx 2060 twin fan and amp version? who can give me the benchmark results of both model?

The amp edition has 1800 MHz boost clock speed, while the twin fan one has 1680 MHz. Also the amp edition has 10w higher max power consumption

The Zotac twin fan will be similar to a stock 2060 in performance. In the review below the AMP was 3% better fps than the stock 2060. The AMP has a factory overclock, which you can overclock the twin fan when you get home. I would go with whichever is the cheapest as both have good cooling and the chips inside are the same Nvidia chips.

that sounds like just bios tweak, so no performance difference at all
both have 8 pin power plug, so u can overclock them same (msi afterburner)
its just marketing trick, coolers seems to be same too

Do u guys think the Galax version will be as good as the zotac one?

I've never heard of "Galax" before. Zotac is a well-known brand, go with it

Isn't overclocking bad for your gc? If so, does it mean the amp version have lower lifespan?

 

[elderMat7]

As long as you don't go crazy and you have good cooling it's not "bad". I see what do you mean, but no. Plus you have warranty as well

The GPU will long be obsolete before it dies from a factory overclock. Dont worry about that.

All the chips inside are made by Nvidia. The only difference is cooling and binning (factory overclocks). The cooling for both of those cards are the same. The higher clocked GPU (AMP) has been binned by Zotac and they put a factory overclock on it. It wont hurt the GPU. You can overclock the chip yourself at home. You may be able to reach the factory OC on the twin fan model, or not. The AMP model just guarantees that you will.

Get the cheaper of the cards. Galax is fine too. Remember, the chips inside are all made by Nvidia.

But will the performance drops continually if I oc it?

 

[elderMat7]

The perfomance will get better, thats the point of overclocking
