[SOLVED] RTX 2070 Super: Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC vs ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 Super

Goodmorning people,

Ive been shopping for some new GPUs to treat myself for the holiday season. Im deciding between the Gigabyte and ASUS cards. ASUS one is better on paper but is that performance noticeable? The Gigabyte card is $678 CAD, much better then the value of the ASUS one which is $789 CAD. I dont really care for RGB or anything. Is spending more worth the premium or better off getting the gigabyte? THANKS!

The difference is negligible. I would go with the cheaper card.
Be sure to take note of the power supply and power connector requirements of the card before you buy.

I bought the Asus ROG Strix. Don't get me wrong, really nice card and temps during gaming never go above 61C. Likely quieter than a dual fan card but otherwise...

You get very little added fps with the slightly boosted clock.
