Im buying a 1080 and there are three cheapish Asus brands but not sure what the difference is. Only the bottom is in stock for a cheaper price than the other two but is there a FPS difference or ay major differences. Thank you

These are the three:


Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 8GB 256-bit GDDR5X Graphics Card

Asus GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition Graphics Cards

Asus GeForce GTX 1080 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5X Graphics Card


Thank you

Normally the reason is for the cooling type and if its factory OC, for Asus the "ROG Strix" series tends to be factory overclocked and probably has a better cooling than the other cards. The Founders edition was probably the first card release and follows the reference design so I'm sure that sold out quick since was release first.

So basically no major difference between the cards again the ROG maybe able to OC higher.

Their core and memory clock rates are the only differences, and the fans/coolers they use.

The Founders edition will be overpriced and not as good as the other two.

There will be some extremely minor FPS differences like maybe 1-2, the ROG Strix may run a bit quieter and cooler as well.
