[Rodrigodrt]

Theres quite a noticeable price difference where i live for the

vs the

the gaming X trio being 200 bucks more expensive, more precisely, 2.849,00 vs 2.640,00.
I ruled out the 5700XT because the difference at this moment is 400,00 and not only the performance is slightly lower but also no RT

the thing is, i can tell so far that the difference specs wise is just that the gaming X has 15 mhz more and a more imposing 3 fan design, but also wondering if this is due to the fact that gaming x use better binned chips, or they just purposefuly keep their clock down a bit to suggest that the gaming x is faster in an attempt to justify the price better.

either way im using afterburner for manual OC... that being so, i could get off with a 200 discount, and OC that ventus past the X trio.

this may be a question based on speculation, but for reference, ive got a very old MSI gtx 980 that was the top-of-the-line, which i might say i paid more for plastics, but OC's like a monster with +160mhz core and +675memory been years.

Are those your only choices? If so, I will go with Ventus, not much diff you only play stock.
