Question regarding RTX 2070 Super

[tfdawn]

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me understand the difference between these two RTX 2070 supers from the same brand.

There is one called " GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER™ GAMING OC 3X WHITE 8G " linked below
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N207SGAMINGOC-WHITE-8GD#kf

and then we have this one which is called " GeForce® RTX 2070 SUPER™ GAMING OC WHITE 8G " linked below aswell
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N207SGAMINGOC-WHITE-8GC#kf

Now, I'm honestly not an expert whatsoever with graphics cards but I can't tell which one I should be buying.
If it even matters at all, which is where I was hoping someone on this forum could come in and help give me the pros/cons if there are any at all.

Thank you.

GC seems better on paper with the larger heat distribution plate, but otherwise the two models are very similar

Seems to be exactly the same, down to the clocks, cooler and dimensions. Not sure why there is a separate SKU. Buy whichever one is cheaper.

 

Edit: slightly different heatsink, so it's not the exact cooler, but it's similar enough that it's not going to make a big difference either way.

Yeah, the similarities is what caught me off guard to the point where I couldn't understand why there was two different versions when the specs are identical.
The only change I could see was one had usb-c and the other didn't.

this is actually a pretty major change, since USB-C is something Nvidia somewhat boast about as the new connector for VR headsets.

They're priced at basically the same the only difference is 0,15 USD (converted from Danish currency)

I do want to try out VR at some point in the future, so keeping that in mind perhaps I should go with the one that has USB-C

Get the USB-C one then. It will likely be more useful in the future than a third DisplayPort output.

Makes sense. Thank you very much, both of you for the quick replies. I'll hopefully be purchasing that one tomorrow assuming it's still in stock.. (only one left )
