Sapphire Nitro 580 or rog strix 3 fan 580

I’m looking to do vr with one of these in conjunction with my i5-6400t. Which would be the better card for that?

[Jurrunio]

The cheaper one.

It’s only a $10 difference though and the nitro is not marketed for OC since it is designed to be quiet.

Then get the ROG Stirx one 

$10 is too small of price difference  when you get better cooling and good looks for your 580

To be honest, they will both do VR just fine. They are both solid cards that won't let you down and both look amazing. If comparing those two cards I'd just go with whichever suites your build asthetics better. I'd pick the Strix personally for better cooling.

would be looking at 10 series cards price coming down fast.

That doesn't mean it won't overclock, and in pretty sure the highest overclocking 580s I've seen have been Nitros. Either card is fine. Go with what you think looks better

Thanks for the comment Ivan. My

only concern is one amazon question about OC said the risk-reward is not worthwhile.

Sounds like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about but had the urge to spew garbage from the butthole on his face. The risk of overclocking your GPU is.... your computer shuts off. That's it.
