Question Stock 5700 xt vs brand

[BlizzMarkc]

So Im planning to get a 5700 xt. Now there is some difference in clock speeds comparing the reference card with the brand names. But Is that important still if I wan to watercool the card?

Cheers!

The differences in clock speeds are pretty small....and I wouldn't let the factory clock speed affect my decision to watercool or not.

But do you think I can achieve the same clockspeeds with a watercooled stock 5700xt or are the for example Sapphire cards just better? I always assumed they got those higher clocks with better cooling and OCing it.

But I can OC it witha a watercooling kit aswell and not spend 90 bucks extra an a Sapphire.

I think it's possible.

But I also think that the GPU manufacturers may sort the chips and put the better ones in their OCed units.
