A friend of mine has built a new system and he just needs a GPU to finish. He was thinking of getting the 2070 Super FE direct from Nvidia. He was also considering EVGA and MSI cards, but, he said he couldn't see any point in paying extra for those cards over the FE one.
He is coming from a reference 290 so noise and temps are going to be better no matter which card he picks and are not a factor in his choice. He might do a little overclocking but, that's not a major factor either.
My question to you guys, outside of noise and temps, is there any reason to go for the more expensive AIB cards? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of performance difference between the most expensive cards and the cheaper ones. I read somewhere that the FE cards have better binned chips, not sure if that's true or not.
