Question

founders edition cards

Apr 15, 2017 5:16AM PDT

so I know it was asked a lot by everyone, but after research I still don't understand the diffrence. so if I have a founders edition cards from 2 diffrent companies let's say they both 1080 for example, they both founders edition. but one from asus and the other one from zotec and the price is diffrent, so they are the same? then why the diffrent price tag? there is a diffrence in performance? the build quality is the same? they built in a diffrent way?
thanks a lot for anyone who helps! sorry if my english isn't the best...

Prices vary. Why?

Exchange rates, prison labor, a better negotiator on part prices and more.

As to your other questions, to answer you would have to get a reviewer like Tomshardware to define how to measure that and report it.

-> My parting tip. Be sure to compare warranties. If one is short, avoid that one.

All you can do is compare the posted specs for each card.

Then try to find a review site for each card.

It might be as simple as the maker or merchant has an over supply of this item so the price is knocked down.
