Hello! As you can see from the specs above I got a new PC with one exception being the GPU. I was considering various options like 1660 Super, 2060, 3060, RX 6700XT. They all dropped in price quite a lot in Poland recently and I'm leaning towards the last one, RX 6700XT (the price is almost exactly the same for 3060 and 6700XT). I'm interested in two models: Gigabyte Radeon RX 6700XT Gaming OC and ASUS Radeon RX 6700 XT TUF GAMING OC. I can get the Gigabyte for 1020$ or Asus for 1125$.

Now the question is: does the Asus have any significant advantage over Gigabyte that would justify the price difference? Or should I just go with the cheaper one? I was looking for detailed specs but Asus doesn't even have a spec sheet on their website (or I just didn't find it). The only thing that somewhat matters to me is that Asus has a more pure-black look and it goes well with all components I chose so far (Gigabyte has more grey-ish look) but it's not a big deal.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Both still warcrime-level price for me, even for eastern europe standard. I wouldnt pull the trigger on any of those considering you still have a running 970, wait till the price drop to somewhere like 400$.

I'm afraid that by that time we will already have Nvidia 6xxx and RX8xxx series 😛
