Question battle of the 4080 supers?

[athrowaway2242]

Hi everyone,

Currently building this build below

There are lots of 4080 Super choices out there...only a handful come in white. The price difference between the Aero and the Aorus master for example though is only 40-50$. my understanding is the aorus master is a beefier card with better thermals and less coil whine. but the white is so pretty.

real world - with a build like the below, powering a 49" monitor and VR - is there any actual difference in performance (noticeable) that would make me really 'need' the aorus master vs the aero? Or should I just stick with the white aesthetic instead. Having trouble really finding data on this. I like to believe that the dark black/gunmetal color will not be too distracting against the white but...hard to say.
or are there any other 4080 super cards i should look at?

I will only say, that I beat the 4080S in speedway with my platform, by a handful of points.

And look at my sig. :/Arms up emoji:

bumping to see if anyone has any real thoughts though on differences between 4080supers. is the master really a step up over the aero? deciding if the matching white vs the power is more important and if it will actually matter in practice

Keep in mind that most people don't have access to multiple GPUs of the same type. Without first hand experience it is difficult to help you choose.
