Sapphire Vega64 Nitro+ Vs Asus ROG Strix

So I’m pretty drunk and am gettign confused.
As mentioned in the title I want to choose between these 2.
Sapphire Nitro mentions Freesync 2, Asys does not. Just regular freesync.
Does it matter on the GPU side or is Freesync 2 all on the monitor side?

I’ve realised the GPU i’m looking at isn’t the LTD edition Sapphire, just regular and there’s a lower core clock so I would rather get that higher clock no? lol and Asus provides that higher clock, not a lot…but
I’ve only found 1 website that mentions HDR with the ROG…

So yeh is it monitor locked and any freesync GPU can display HDR?

Not sure if this helps, but PCB shots of both:

Edit: I like the option to connect 4-pin case fans to the cards. Both allow for 2. IMO, Sapphire has layed out the connectors for that better than Asus.

Yeh the top one is the limited edition version with 3x power, normal version is just 2.
Another reason I wanted to switch was because this website I’m ordering from only has Corsair ram and I want to get those CL14, other website with more ram options doesn’t have the sapphire gpu.

Anyway cheers for the input dude :slight_smile:
