I've just noticed from my GPU-Z that Asus seem to use different memory Manufacturers, (Samsung and Hynix). Does anyone know why? Also will this effect real world performance?
It shouldn't have a performance impact as both are made to the same Jedec standard and are at the same clock speeds, though sometimes certain brands of memory are known to overclock better on certain cards.
No difference, both are great. I have found that the Hynix ones do seem to OC better in general, however I cant say I have enough of a sample to provide an accurate estimate. Just what I have experienced in general.
I don't have time to go through the entire video to find the spot, its near the end, but Galax does claim there is a difference for extreme overclocking. Logan says there are some timing differences between chips and Galax has a preference.
