I like my ROG better but performance among the cards is pretty much equal.
Basically, I found it on a private ad, on a Greek website. It is used and in good condition. The same guy that I mentioned before also said to me:"It's not reasonable to buy something so expensive just to combine motherboard-graphics card."
Like I don't know that they are expensive? None is obliged to combine motherboard-graphics card, but since the company provides that, it is a choice.
He also said:" I'm not against the led, but the Asus cards, are basic concepts with a beautiful wrapper. Top is not in any case. Top companies are the ones that offer the best components on board and a good guarantee. Asus do not offer any of the above".
Asus support sucks, it is known, but it is still one of the top companies, either we like it or not.
In the review of the Asus Strix 1080, on Guru3d, in part when they tested it overclocked it was said this:
"The boost clock will now render at roughly anywhere from 1950~2088 MHz depending on the power and temperature signature. The GPU will continuously be dynamically altered on voltage and clock frequency to match the power and temperature targets versus the increased core clock. In FireStrike we are now hovering at the 2 GHz marker on the Boost frequency for example, but some might jump to roughly 2.1 GHz one second and dipped below 2 GHz the other."
But they didn't said that for the Strix 1080(factory) OC and they have the same processor.
