Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB (NON LIMITED)vs. Asus Strix RX 480 8GB

Hello, I need help to decide beetween Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB (NON LIMITED OC 1411 MHZ) and Asus Strix RX 480 8GB. Both are the same price, but I can' t decide which one to buy because maybe the Nitro+ is noisier and hotter than the Strix.
I think that Asus is a excellent brand, I never bought before a Sapphire product.
I can't find a benckmark beetween both gpu. But I find that the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ Limited edition ( 1450 MHZ) is a bit faster than the Asus Strix

Thanks!

Power draw will be higher on the Sapphire 580 but it's not loud at all , I have the 580 Limited Edition and it's very quiet.

My approach is to give priority to companies i have had good experience with. I'd hate to buy the other company's product, have a problem, then think "Why didn't I just buy the one I knew was good?". The other thing is the 580 is faster than the 480, the clockspeed is beside the point. The question is, do you need the extra performance? Just because it's technically faster doesn't guarantee you'll feel a difference, depending on the game and the rest of your system specs.

Sapphire Nitro+ All the way!!!
-Max OC potential
-Better Brand Rep
-Better Cooler
-Better Aesthetics (My opinion)
-Power Hog
-Dual Bios
Asus Strix
-Lesser Power Hog
-GPU Fan Control
That's it basically.
