Title: MSI vs ASUS Strix
Post by: arnes on February 28, 2017, 05:33:07 PM
MSI RADEON™ RX 480 GAMING X 8GB (1316 MHz - two vents)
vs
ASUS ROG Strix RX 480 8GB (1330 MHz - three vents)???
Price is almost the same. Which one you'll choose for brand new mining rig?

Thanks a lot.

if you're not factoring price, the MSI Card is smaller than the Asus which would take less room in a rig.

The Asus has additional features that really don't have anything to do with mining but its cooler/fan design is slightly better

If you're factoring price -- go with which ever card is cheaper as it won't matter for mining.
