Hey guys!

Do you think it's worth going more expensive with the 2070 Super Aorus vs the regular gaming OC?

Maybe it have better cooling and components, so it may clock higher, and runs cooler and more silent?
 
The Aorus is noisier and hotter. The reason it is, is because it has a pretty healthy manufacturer overclock. Also Gigabyte turn the fan off when the card is idle when really it should still be left on, so the card idles a tad too warm for my liking. Anyway, whether it is worth it is up to you. It's 10% dearer and about 5% faster...ish.
 
I see, thanks for the info :)
But strange that it's noisier, as the gaming oc also have a good O/C. And the gaming oc, also idles under 60 degrees. So it's dead quiet.
But it sounds like the Gaming OC will do fine then, as I dont care about those flashy RGB lights the Aorus have, and dont need those extra hdmi contacts!

Btw, here a new review - gaming oc:
