Posted February 13, 2019 I am going to be buying a 2080 Ti tomorrow morning... Debating between the Strix and Aorus... Opinions? I know performance they're pretty close. Down to the details I found that the strix in performance mode is the coolest 2080 Ti card by air. But putting that aside, Opinions on which I should get?

Between those 2 I would go with the Aorus.

That way you won't have to choose. /s Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1033024-which-2080-ti/#findComment-12294025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly like the peace of mind of knowing that EVGA has good warranty and customer support.
