GTX 1060 - Difference between MSI GAMING X 6G and ARMOR 6G OC?

[aubycek]

Hello everyone. I was wondering what is the difference between MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G and MSI GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G OC. The ARMOR edition is 54$ cheaper (in my country) than the Gaming X.

The only "downsides" I've spotted: ARMOR has no backplate (which doesn't bother me, since it's mainly for the looks and serves as a support so the card doesn't bend etc..); and that it has only 50MHz less Core Clock than the GAMING X (both compared in stock clock speeds). Maybe the GAMING X has a better Overclocking potential, but I won't overclock until I need it (a very long time ). Also maybe the cooling system may differ a little bit, but not much I'd say.

Here are the links to the cards (shortened):

If you scroll down a little bit, you'll see the specifications.

If you know about any other significant difference I didn't mention, tell me please.
If there's no more differencies than I listed, it's not worth paying 54$ extra for the GAMING X, right?

Other than what you mentioned, no.
The other differences might just be that the vram on the gaming X is 8.1Ghz instead of the armor that has 8Ghz.
The other differences are better cooling due to the gaming x having the twin frozer VI and disabling the fans when not being above 60% load which decreases noise, the armor might have that too, im not sure.
Other than that and the gaming X coming with a slightly higher core clock there isnt any difference really.
