What is the difference ASUS 1080 GTX STRIX BOOST Vs BASE HZ?

[Qatar99]

Hello

I am going to buy ASUS 1080 GTX STRIX edition but there is two types :

1- Base Clock 1607 MHz ( 560$ )

2- Boost Clock 1835 MHz ( 570$ )

Amazon link :

Base Clock 1607 MHz thats the Stock Nvidia Clock for the GPU with the Boost Clock 1835 MHz if the Game needs more resources GPU clock can be bosted to 1835 Mhz results in better FPS

The Amazon link shows you three versions of the Asus GTX 1080 Strix (all similar in physical appearance but different clock speeds):

Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING (https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING/)
Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING (https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING/)
Asus ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING (https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING/)

The "8G" model has its engine clock speed at 1607 MHz (Base) to 1733 MHz (Boost) in Gaming Mode and 1632 MHz (Base) to 1771 MHz (Boost) in OC Mode.

The "A8G" model has its engine clock speed at 1670 MHz (Base) to 1809 MHz (Boost) in Gaming Mode and 1695 MHz (Base) to 1835 MHz (Boost) in OC Mode.

The "O8G" model has its engine clock speed at 1759 MHz (Base) to 1898 MHz (Boost) in Gaming Mode and 1784 MHz (Base) to 1936 MHz (Boost) in OC Mode.

The type shown in the Amazon link labelled "Base Clock 1607 MHz" pertains to the 8G model. The "Boost Clock 1835 MHz" pertains to the A8G model. The "Boost Clock 1936 MHz" pertains to the O8G model.

All those MHz pertain to factory-set clock speeds. There is only a slight difference in those speeds among those GPU models when compared: 63-64 MHz difference between the 8G and the A8G; and 89-101 MHz difference between the A8G and the O8G.

mmm thank you but i didnt get it ><

Are they both overclocking ?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah the ones with the higher clocks are just factory overclocked.

Dont bother paying more for them, you can do the overclocking your self easily enough.

So the second one is factory overclocked .. and its only 10$ extra .. i think i am gonna go with that ?

 

[RobCrezz]

Sure if you want. I would just get the cheaper one and save the $10.

Thank you very much .. great answer, i appreciate it

All of them factory overclock or ?

 

[raisonjohn]

Both A8G and O8G models are factory-overclocked. The 8G model uses the stock engine clock speed of Nvidia's GTX 1070 (1607MHz to 1733MHz).

However, all models of the Asus Strix feature an OC-mode (automatic OC using Asus software) to increase the engine clock speeds to its rated speeds as I mentioned above.

You also have the option to manually overclock all models to whichever speed you prefer, given limitations of your rig.
