oh and the prices aren't exact.

 

[Electronics Wizardy]

There the same card, just different clock and coolers. Get the cheapest one.

[Mira Yurizaki]

They're both 1080's by ASUS. So whichever has the higher factory overclock if you don't care about overclocking yoursel.

[TheGlenlivet]

Best witch card.....

[OlavEmil]

Unless you are planning on serious overclocking for the sake of benchmarking, save your money and buy the $600 one. Any 1080 is a great card :).

[TheRandomness]

So all 3 are Asus cards... did you list the strix, dual and turbo cards? If so, buy whichever fits your aesthetic better between the dual and the strix. 

[manikyath]

your post has some serious formatting issues there bro...

 

it would probably just be better if you told the name of all 3 of them.

please dont.. you know damn well the cheapest coolers are the shittest coolers  (remember asus turbo? they still have asus turbo)

i like how you left out the turbo there

Yep, but they will all perform about the same.

but arent very visually appealing, and in some cases probably painfully noisy.

Most wil be decided on the cooler. For fps performance wise it is not the biggest difference, allthough the better the cooler the higher the card boosts and can stay on that level consequently. What might also be benficial if you want to OC manual. Because for OC as always it is that the better the cooler the more headroom you have in theory, assuming you would be limited by temp and not other variables influencing the results. But don't pay load of money extra for a marginal better factory OC. I personally decide it more on actual temps in benchmarks and noise levels. This is where coolers can be different. So as long as it is in a acceptable price range, that is my deciding factor + looks if in windowed case.

 

 

And as always: more expensive is not automatically better, nor is the cheapest always the best choice

What's your display set up?

[Noah Vega]

so basically you guys are saying i should buy the cheeper one and then overclock it manually which will make it the same if not better as the more expensive cards basic  factory clock speed.

[dizmo]

I always avoid witch cards, I heard they're power hungry and release gremlins.

For the most part yes, apart from the things I mentioned about the cooler. A few great coolers currently are MSI gaming coolers, EVGA ACX 3.0 and Asus strix is also proper. If youw ant the more silent ones you need the MSI gaming. The Strix is realtivly loud compared. But it's no jet taking off

[faziten]

witchcraft!

Inquisition is here to help you:

 

Buy the cheapest one overclock it yourself. Or don't. we are talking of 10% performance difference, nothing to cry about.
