Hi guys,

I was asking myself if i can save come bucks buying a Card from the same manufacturer, but not the expensive one. For example the Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING is 30 Euros more expensive then the Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING. The Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING has a Boost clock of 1936MHz and the Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING has a Boost clock of 1835MHz. Cant i get the Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING with manually overclocking with Afterburner to the same Boost clock of the expensive one??? Same goes for other brands like Gainward. Thnxs in advance.

The reason that, that clock is set the way it is; is because that is what the card can handle. The O version allows the card to be overclocked further and has great overclocking capabilities. While the other one probably can't over clock very well but you are welcome to try. All in all that overclock probably wont give you meaningful frame differences. We're talking 1-5 FPS.

Yes you are right you can just use manual overclock to get the same clock speed so really what GPU you get is personal preference in my opinion. i think of it as yes you may get like 1-2 more fps with one card vs another but if your buying a 1080 then that is the best card on the market so even if you get the cheapest 1080 that is not reference card then it really doesn't matter to be honest it all comes down to what card you want (looks cooler) and how much money you want to spend. hopefully i was of some help :)
