If you can afford the Strix then you can afford the Sapphire Nitro+ that's a better card

Posted

I'm aware both cards have a similar price point, however I don't know which one to choose.
I have a ryzen 5 2600.
I would like the asus rog strix version of the card (as these look the best in my opinion)
Can someone tell me the benefits of each?
Which would be better for value?
anything specwise that differs majorly?

Vega 64. The Asus Strix has VRM cooling issues iirc (not sure if it was the V56, the V64, or both).

Which would be the best (with lots of fans) with similar aesthetics in your opinion?

By even further irony, it's more noticeable on the Strix.

I don't really know much about the vega 64 power consumption, what Power supply do you recommend? I have a be quiet! 600w Pure Power 10 with 80+ Silver efficiency however I have read that a 750w Power supply is recommended? I don't want to kill my system with yet ?
