I'am a bit undecided between these two graphics cards , both are at the same price.
Which gpu is better ?
Also which gpu can achieve higher overclock speeds ?

Just my two bits...

I was comparing MSI cooler types before I pulled the trigger and got the Twin Frozr version over the Gaming X/Armor X version. On paper, the clock speeds attributed to the Twin Frozr were a tad higher with the same power draw...a bit odd in my opinion. I'd also had experience with the Twin Frozr since my last card was the R9 380 with the same cooling solution; it rarely, if ever, went above 62C.

I'm a bit of a dummy where playing with overclocking is concerned and that's why I also like MSIs Gaming App. For comparison, the R9 380 on the Gaming App...

I'm a bit of a dummy where playing with overclocking is concerned and that's why I also like MSIs Gaming App. For comparison, the R9 380 on the Gaming App had the OC setting at 1000 MHz. The RX 480 is faster than that on the lowest (Silent) setting.

I know I hadn't touched on the XFX version, but I have no experience with that brand. To me though, the Gaming App is pretty decent for dummies like me and hasn't disappointed yet.

Hope it helps, even if microscopically. :)
