AIB or Founders

[spent_idol]

New to the pc world.....AiB or Founders? What matters most in a GPU? Should I look and compare based off core clocks, boost clocks, memory, cooling? Just looking for a free tech tip.

I always do aftermarket cards for there increased power delivery systems and better cooling which both can result in better overclocking since the core will be cooler and be able to draw more power then a founders edition card.

well for most AIB its things like looks.

 

Though some of them do new PCB's and have a few tweaks (overgeneralising) that make them perform better that the Nvidia SKU.

 

Make not that Nvidia keep the best binned ones (best performers at a certain benchmark) for themselves so will more likely be stable at a higher OC but will need better cooling. Though by the THICC new thermal design that looks unlikely
