Hey gang,

Simple question here... The time for me to buy my GPU is quickly approaching. I was going to go with an Asus OC 1080 ti but the prices are skyrocketing right now... Is there any physical difference between this card and the standard Asus 1080ti? Can I OC it by myself with the same results?

I've never OC'ed before. What kind of trouble would I be getting myself into?

Thanks all!
