Asus RX 480 strix versions

[zaza95]

okay, so i have decided to buy a asus rx480 strix card, but upon research I found that there are 2 versions

(version 1) https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX480-8G-GAMING/

(version 2) https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX480-O8G-GAMING/

only the first one is available in my country. Is the difference in clock speeds noticeable? Is the pcb design same? if so it must mean I could manually overclock it right?

Get the sapphire one, strix is a waste of money.

 

As for the strix:

One has a higher clock speed

I'd say probably not a big deal. Just make sure to turn up their temperature targets since they are on the low side which makes them a bit noisy.

You want the O8G one. Okay bye now!

If you want the reason why, you can reply to this. I don't feel like giving a reason ATM.

The only difference is https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX480-O8G-GAMING/ this on is a overclock edition, so you can just slide a bar and turn up the clock speed memory boost and fans, not really that much of a difference.
