Sapphire Nitro+ vs. Asus RoG Strix

Sapphire Nitro+ vs. Asus RoG Strix RX 480 8GB:

Which one's better? Which one would you buy? Vote and justify!

In my opinion, RoG Strix is more appealing, but according to both Asus's and Sapphire's websites, Nitro+ has higher OC.

What do you think?

There's also owners of the strix reporting oc to 1400mhz possible.

RoG Strix can be connected to case fans, maybe that's the reason why it's cooler, great feature...

I read that Trixx (Sapphire) is a good overclocker, but I don't know anything about GPU Tweak (Asus)

lmao it is reference and you cant get a good idea on how loud it is if you dont have a reference card

Both my RX 480 GTR OC'S run at 1450 mhz, so i would say xfx 

Tems are between 75-85c on a aggresive curve tough, they aint that loud

Is PowerColor that bad?

[ottoyu34]

Asus basically took the same cooler from strix 1080 and gave it to the rx480.

it was dead quiet under full load.

I didn't mentioned other brands because almost all are more expensive than these two (except for Gigabyte)... At least in my country.

1. XFX

2. Asus

3. MSI

4. Sapphire

Fan speed had to be 90-95 during tomb raider to keep a 80 degree celsius

I know how it feels, my card is like about to take off from the airport

[ottoyu34]

Might want to research into XFX GTR one, thats supposely the best RX480 from what I've heard.

What about Asus Dual RX 460 2GB? A friend of mine is planning to buy that GPU, is it any good compared to other brands?

Its trash tbh ...

Better get a RX 470 4GB ... its a bit more expensive BUT massive performance boost ...

Well, that "bit" is about $75-100 and he has a really tight budget. I told him to get a Zotac Mini GTX 1050... I was wondering if Asus Dual has a good quality PCB.

Stick with the Zotac. My rule of thumb is avoid any lower end Asus products. They tend to be quite crap.
