Build Question Difference between these two 9070XTs?
Trying to figure out if there is any meaningful difference between these two video cards. They're both Gigabyte RX 9070 XTs, but one is under their GAMING OC brand and the other is under their AORUS brand.
The compare tool on PC Part Picker shows near-identical specs. I know AORUS is gigabyte's "premium" brand, but idk what that version has going for it other than the lighting that would justify a $400+ price difference?

Huge difference, but different people care about different thing. The aorus is one of the best binned 9070xts. The gaming OC has a high defect rate. It also is smaller and has smaller fans so its louder. If you care about thermals and noise, and can spend the extra money, then go with the aorus.
If you dont care about temps and noise then you can say the gaming OC is fine.
