Nitro is their "premium" line, Pulse is usually their "budget" one. Just compare the clocks, cooler design and price. Usually there are the differences.

fyi

the pulse has a 4+2 vrm, and 4x 6mm heatpipes, while the nitro has a 6+2, and 2x8mm and 2x6mm, it also has a 8+6pin vs just a  8 pin.

Supphire nitro vs pluse ? which one to buy almost the same price.

Pulse got chopped down to a 4 phase from a 6 if I recall correctly, nitro will be the better deal if priced close to each other.

Depends, a couple more bucks in your pocket or a little more FPSs, the Nitro+ will clock a bit faster then the pulse, mine is clocked to 1450mhz/2200mhz but i don't think the Pulse will clock that high without crashes. I Think the Nitro is worth the money, but the Pulse is also a good buy, always depend how much you pay for each.

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

I've got one of those, and the Pulse will clock to nitro speeds. Mine is currently at 2200/1446mhz... and now that I've applied fresh thermal paste I'll see if I can squeeze some more out of it. I know the mem will do 2230
