cant decide which 1080 to get

Tiwaz

so i am thinkin about getting a gtx 1080. I have a really hard time deciding whether I should be getting the MSI gtx 1080 gaming X or ASUS ROG STRIX 1080

MSI: good looks, fits my colour scheme, very good cooling performance for a two fan design card

ASUS rog: a bit uglier, but slightly better acoustics

 

So do the slightly better acoustics justifiy getting the ASUS one? Price wise the ASUS one costs aroudn 35€ more but that is not too relevant here

 

what do you guys think?

You should get the MSI card because you can change the fan curve to be more silent and it fits your color scheme. It's also less expensive.

my brother has a strix 1080 and even with a bit of overclocking and temp target of 75°C you can just hear the card a bit under full load

I would go for the MSI if I were you so you can follow your colour scheme + it's very silent during heavy loads.

yea okay. i wouldnt be overclocking since its probably not necessary for hte games i play. I should be able to hit 100fps on ultra in 1440p with that card
