Hi, I am looking at the non factory overclocked ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX 8GB. (STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING).
It's specs are:
OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1771 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1632 MHz
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1733 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1607 MHz
The next model up I was looking at is the ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING
It's spec are:
OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1936 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1784 MHz
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1898 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1759 MHz
I can get a good deal on the first model from a friend. The STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING would be about $85 less than the STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING. Do you think that it would be a good deal and could I overclock it any to match the speed of the higher model? Any advice would be great. I currently have a Asus 27" G-gsync 144mhz but I would like to eventually get a 4k monitor. Thanks.
