2080 or SW Titan Xp?

[OnyxTech]

So, I currently have a choice between an Aorus 2080 and a Star Wars 2080, I'm not sure which one to choose, the only thing that really concerns me about the Titan is that it's a blower-style cooler, while the 2080 is a triple fan, I'm mostly using this PC for 1080p 144Hz and some light content creation, any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

 

Edit: Both cards are for about the same price

The 2080 will be more than ample for games at 1080p 144Hz.

 

The titan will just be overkill and a waste of money.

Well, see the thing is that they're both the same price, probably should've mentioned that haha

think you meant titan xp

 

what is the price difference?

if its the same price i would recommend the titan since you will get slightly better preformance and better resale value since limeted edition

 

if the titan xp is more expensive buy the 2080 or a used 1080ti(for cheaper and use the money to upgrade the monitor or something)

 

also 1080 144hz the gpu's are overkill

Id still opt for the 2080 over the titan.

Thanks! I think i'll go for the 2080 since they have the battlefield v thing going on, might be a meh game but at least it's a game

Titan xp for style, 2080 for performance. The cooler design ought to give you an advantage.

If I were watercooling I would 100% go with the titan, but i'm not (yet) so I'm a little concerned about thermals

The blower is sufficient, it won't be damaged or anything. The cooler of an AIB will produce higher clock speeds though.
