At the foundation, both cards share identical base-level silicon characteristics: the same 2295 MHz base clock, 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 1750 MHz memory speed. This confirms they are built on the same GPU die with no architectural differences — the distinction lives entirely in how aggressively each card is factory-tuned.
The key differentiator is the GPU boost clock: the Gaming Trio OC Plus reaches 2572 MHz versus the Ventus 3X OC's 2482 MHz — a 90 MHz (roughly 3.6%) advantage. This cascades directly into every performance metric: the Gaming Trio delivers 46.09 TFLOPS of floating-point throughput versus 44.48 TFLOPS, a 720.2 GTexels/s texture fill rate versus 695 GTexels/s, and a 246.9 GPixel/s pixel rate versus 238.3 GPixel/s. In practice, a ~3–4% compute gap of this kind translates to a modest but measurable frame rate advantage in GPU-bound scenarios, particularly at high resolutions where fill rate and shader throughput are the bottleneck.
The Gaming Trio OC Plus holds a clear, if narrow, performance edge in this group. The gap is not transformative — both cards will deliver virtually identical experiences in most titles — but the higher boost clock on the Gaming Trio is a consistent, factory-validated advantage backed by every derived metric in the data. Users prioritizing the absolute highest out-of-box performance without manual overclocking should favor the Gaming Trio OC Plus.
