ASUS 1080Ti....OC worth the extra £

[Shaddow1086]

Looking to upgrade my GPU to an ASUS 1080Ti. Noticed I can get a slightly "Faster" card on the OC edition, but at an extra £30 more.

Is this small increase worth the money, or best to just stick with the Non-OC version of the same card?
I know a lot of this is marketing, so dont want to pay the extra if I wont see any real benefit from it.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Just want to confirm both the cars are identical apart from one being OC'd?
No different components / heatsinks etc?

Thanks

Yeah, the gigabyte was the other card I considered. Very little in them and my 3 previous cards have all been asus. MB is also Asus, so with little to nothing in it, id get ASUS just for continuity.
Watched a few bench tests videos of various 1080ti cards and Aorus and Strix cards were near identical.
Might wait a couple of weeks and see if there are any great deals on black friday.

Thanks for that, guess its a bit more reason to go for the ASUS.

If you have to stress test a 88mhz increase on an ASUS card from base and can't be bothered to tweak it then you must have money to burn and are on the wrong forum and know little about the reputation of ASUS cards. Its not a pre-built system either thats a whole other matter and the reason for it can be seen. You cant compare a £30 premium for a tiny overclock to a pre-built system.

No its not naive at all. Whats this forum called ? You do a poll on here for which card people would buy and it will be a land slide on the cheaper card. Only the uneducated would buy the more expensive card. My opinon based on experience reading what people buy on here.

Regardless of what the forum is called, its a "Forum".
Noun,
"A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged."

Post like this is what keeps many of forums as they come with a genuine question, and before long they are being castrated for not being in the top 5% of know-how and knowledge of a certain product. We all had to start somewhere.

Yes I have some knowledge regarding computers. Built many systems and can hold my own, but have very limited experience about overclocking.
Also, I dont know the in depth details of each GPU, hence the question. I know some "higher end" versions of the same card used better quality components or binned chips. In that way, it could be worth spending the extra 5% to increase chances of good results in the silicone lottery.

But sorry if my uneducated question caused offence.

I wouldn't buy a 1080 ti now it's been out too long and something else is always just around the corner 6 months later

Has it? Thought it was released in March this year. Unfortunately with technology, every 6 months there will be a newer version around the corner in 6 months time.
