ASUS 1080Ti....OC worth the extra £

varkanoid said:
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 bought the OC card as I had NO intention of overclocking ANYTHING.

But I've changed my mind. But its only £30. on a £800 card.
 
Okay will make it simple as people seem to be jumping over the moon for some reason when I wasnt the one who originally instigated the "not worth the effort" opinion. Post#2.

The OP asked

This. Unless your not going to overclock. Like me I wasn't going to overclock. Now I am I should have bought the cheaper one.......But as its only £30 I wont be losing any sleep. My new rig cost the best part of £3k
 
I've just bought a 1080ti to replace two Maxwell Titan X's.
I got the Zotac Amp Extreme. I went for this as the only time I overclock my cards is when running benchmarks. The other 99.9% of the time the run at stock.
 
Premium or overclocked cards tend to be binned higher, they have to at least meet their overclock. They're also good for those that don't want to overclock themselves. Everyone else will just buy the cheaper card. These cards all more or less overclock the same. There's only a few fps difference between them. Some people also buy a particular card that matches their colour scheme or RGB features or whatever. Completely subjective.

Just enjoy what you have or want and let everyone else do the same
