Strix 1080 or Aurous 1080ti?

Hi all, 

 

after browsing amazon for a little while last night I noticed that both a strix 1080 and the gigabyte aurous 1080ti were both £350 gbp. This seems really cheap and a good time to upgrade. Which one is the better deal? Strix to me is the better choice but obviously less performance and the gigabyte one has more performance but potentially not as good aesthetically or as good at cooling? 

 

Anyone got any ideas of what I should do and why?

 

thanks.

Well an 2070 outperforms 1080, 1080Ti outperforms the 2070.

 

If they are both same price, I’d suppose go with Ti

This is what I thought but I didn’t want to miss a trick somewhere, thanks for all the help.
