How well is an After Market Gtx 1070 vs a Founder Edition

[Shawnio]

I have bought and received a new prebuilt. However despite what reviews said of the computer coming with a MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC. I got a founders edition, So i spoke to the company that sent me the computer, and I was informed that although it is unusual they never specified what type of 1070 would come with the computer so the best I could do was return the computer and order it again in hopes that it come with a different card. (I have read of Founder Edition card Thermal Throttling but so far with multiple FurMark tests I haven't encountered any throttling.)
My question is will it be worth it to return my computer now and hope for different card, or is the trouble not worth the difference of a Founders Edition to a After Market Card?

My Specs:
Cpu:i7-7700k
Ram:16Gb
Mobo: Msi Z270
Psu: 800 Watt

I wouldnt bother, the FE is still good, not much differences vs a MSI armor edition.

Hey,

That is a very weird way they are selling those prebuilts, I am very surprised they do not list the exact model of 1070.

For the cooler, I would probably not bother. An aftermarket card will be slightly better in clocks and thermals, but if your card is staying cool under full load the difference will be minimal.

Normally with aftermarket cards they have a slight factory overclocked and maybe a fancier cooler but I wouldn't worry too much about a performance difference as if there is one it'll only be small
