Difference between these two graphics cards?

AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Xtreme Edition 8G(https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080AORUS-X-8GD#support-manual) AND AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 8G (https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080AORUS-8GD-rev-20-21#sp)

Difference between them performance wise? I don't know much about graphics cards so I was just wondering if there will be a noticeable difference between them. Thanks

The extreme edition is 3.5% faster so if it's less than 3.5% more expensive then it would be cost effective to buy it. Obviously paying 4% more money for 3.5% more performance for example would be a false economy. That's the way I look at it. I haven't actually checked the prices of those two cards.

Alright thanks!

Just another question. How come there's not any videos on youtube with benchmarks and reviews of the standard AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080? Was it not very popular?

Tbh you could probably clock the lower card to the extreme card speed or close to that anways, just using a software tool. In game the difference will probably be 5 fps.

Thanks guys
