What is the real difference between the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming and Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce? I see that the clock speed is a bit higher on the G1, but is that the only real difference? Would they both OC to the same level?

Honestly I didn't even look but get the cheaper one. I have a feeling one has rgb and one doesn't....

 

...lol just checked. Yeah seems like one has RGB lighting, so if you don't need that then go with the cheaper one.

G1 Gaming is better because it has LEDs and higher factory OC

Normally i'd say go for the lower and OC it yourself but the g1 has  better power delivery
