i'm getting a new GPU and i don't know what the difference is other than the price

Ones overclocked the other one isn't.

[airdeano]

they are the same GPU. one vendor is selling it cheaper, dunno if there is a

shipping variance. both have 1253 boost clock.

They both say OC on the box.

Well I'm blind...

Same card on both sites, just different prices. The model numbers are exactly the same in the listings.

No difference at all.

Just my opinion but strix was a one trick pony. It had a low temp shutoff for it's fan's. Now that you can do that in just about any OC tool it's pretty much worthless. If you can get a GPU with better binning for the same money buy it instead.

 

Edit: Sorry I feel I have to qualify that. I'm actually a fan of ASUS. I just can't recommend a card that's only feature set is something that anyone with a bit of extra knowledge can do for themself.

No difference 

 

Just buy from the cheaper vendor (as long as it's reliable) and save that $50

lol just realised why it was cheaper, there's a really inconspicuous *on Special* sign lol
