Are strix cards worth getting

[Ben17]

Are the Asus ROG strix cards worth getting as i'm probley going to upgrade  in the Summer

if they cost more than other good cards. then no. 

 

if there is a sapphire card at the same or smaller price then no

if there is a EVGA card at the same price or lower then no. 

 

 

Asus makes pretty good high end cards. their low end arent great. (Strix is high end, TUF is not)

They are top tier and usually get binned chips. The cooler is top notch as well and about as good as you will get on a GPU for air cooling. Worth is relative to you and your plans. Are you water cooling the card? If so, get a founders card.. same binned chip at a smaller price and broader availability of water blocks to choose from. Air cooling? Again, relative to your use case and what you value the most. Most after market cards are very close in terms of performance usually within 1-5% of each other total.

Honestly, it depends on what card we're talking about.

I wouldnt be planning to watercool or OC at least at the moment however I may decide to in the future

What I mean is certain strix cards have/had problems.  So, it depends on the exact one we're talking about.  But, the strix's cooler is generally good.  It's usually the MSI Armor edition and a few others that are garbo outside of maybe Turing.  Someone told me MSI fixed that for Turing.

Good to know thanks will probley get a 2070 or 2060 strix in summer

edit not a 2060 strix

Premium cards like this carry a price premium, in the Strix case it's just too much on the 2060. Not even wanting to spend that kind of money extra for the 2070 Strix instead of something else myself but at least I can understand why.
