Aorus RTX 3080 TI "Extreme" Vs "Master" cards

[THEPASHKA]

Aorus RTX 3080 non TI "Extreme" card has bigger power limit as well as additional 8 pin connector then "Master" version card
And now I'm wondering what advantages do Aorus RTX 3080 TI "Extreme" has over "Master"?
Other than additional 60 Mhz of core clock, since the current difference between this cards are ~£250 and paying that much just for Aorus figure & +60mhz (which can be done manually) would be pretty stupid...

Like, does it overclock better, or is there better die's picked for extreme version? Since currently the only difference I can see is additional 60 Mhz & a Aorus figure thing

There is no Major difference that would be noticeable. I would go for whichever is cheaper because they seem to have equal specs and as for the 8 pin connector on the extreme card I think that it has the extra one because it has a higher automatically overclocked mode. But in reality I believe that automatic overclocking is useless because its just easier to tweak it yourself.

 

Hope this helped

The difference is basically if you want a higher score in Time Spy or Port Royal get the Extreme. 

 

I have an EVGA XC3 Ultra and with two 8 pin it has no overclocking headroom at all. It can do 20 more frames at 1440p than my overclocked FTW3 Ultra 2080 tis so I am happy with it. It also costs $1200.

 

I am getting another 3080 ti and I don't care if it's another XC3 Ultra or a FTW3 Ultra. It is what ever comes first.
