Model difference between 1080 ti:s

[erikeriok1]

Just wondering what does the different moodels/versions do like rog strix vs KFA2

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

Just get a STRIX and don't worry about it

[Jurrunio]

Any plans on overclocking? If yes, how high do you want the GPU to hit?

 

also why not other brands?

Im looking at 3 different used cards atm 1. KFA2 2. Gigabyte 3. Strix 

The KFA2 costs 660$

Gigabyte 690$

Strix 830$

 

The sheer difference in price is insane i just want to know the reason behind this

The STRIX is a more premium card and is more prized in general so it's more expensive, plus the $50 ASUS tax for best quality stuff

the price difference is the asshole selling the Strix asking TO MUCH MONEY because the 1080ti production has ceased and you can't buy them new anywhere anymore at there regular price (which was actually LESS then $830), you can buy a brand new WARRANTIED 2080 at that price, get the same performance and support for Ray Tracing, that guy is just insane, if I had a way to safely ship it i'd sell you one of my founders based 1080ti's that I installed an EVGA Hybrid cooler onto for the price of the Gigabyte and would still be ripping you off compared to what i've seen them listed for lately, last week most used air cooled 1080ti's where selling for $600 or under on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace.

OK but still unless that Gigabyte is like an "Turbo" model (a blower cooler design) thats gonna perform withing 1-3% of the Asus Strix so that guy is still insane on his pricing compared to others.

which exact models of Gigabyte and KFA2 are we talking about here? I mean, first of all blower cards are jut worse unless your case sucks in airflow.

then right off the Strix cost too much for sb not doing high overclocks. The KFA2 (same as Galax EXOC) and Gigabyte are equally good buys for the price. I would buy the Gigabyte for the 3 fans (which means less noise). The KFA2 itself is capable though if your requirements on noise isnt as high.
