Aorus or Gigabyte ?

[Coolday]

I have very limited choices for rx 5700 card and I found gigabyte gaming oc better than MSI mech oc in cooling but I was wondering should I wait for Aorus or there is no real difference between Gigabyte and Aorus ?

Aorus is like ROG for Asus. But yes they do look very similar, but the Aorus will feature RGB lighting

Real benefits for waiting ? I think Aorus will be available at the end of the month but I think also with higher prices.

If you want RGB and willing to pay more then wait. Otherwise there will be no benefit as the cooling solution will propably be the same

Then it is up to you, if you want RGB or not. I don't think the clock speeds are going to be any different so the performance is going to be identical.

The only other benefit for waiting is if AMD announces new GPUs during CES 2020 and when they will be available. Bear in mind though that there are reports of GPU prices going up in 2020 due to increased demand of GDDR6.

Gigabyte Gaming OC is more than good enough. 

 

No point in waiting unless you really want that look.
