Why is the card so cheap? Is the reason just because there is no RGB lighting?

According to ChatGPT:

The differences between the various ASUS graphics card models, such as the ASUS PRIME RTX 5080 OC, the TUF and the Astral, lie mainly in the target groups, the cooling technology, the durability and the features they offer.

A little smaller and really not that much less frequency (that can be made up for by overclocking a little).
I thought I'd made a mistake by not taking the Tuf but not at all in the end.
The difference is derisory.

On the other hand, I'll sell it again if I can get Gigabyte's Aorus Master.
