Basically branding. ASUS products have a phenominal mark up for very little difference in performance. Our general advice is don’t waste your money on the ASUs cards as it’s just not worth it.
Thanks SpyderTracks. Yeah this was my issue, I was seeing comparison benchmarks on youtube with only a few FPS ( if any ) difference, so why the big price markup?

As I said, simply branding, nothing more.

Google Asus Tax. Which is what it's known as.
It's generally not worth buying a 'top end' model of a GPU - why buy a £440 RTX 2060 Super when a few quid more gets you an RTX 2070 Super, or you could buy more or less the same performance from the cheapest RTX 2060 Supers at £330. And so on. At the RTX 2080 ti has no model above it, the prices for the higher end ones start to run away a bit to the point of massively diminishing returns.
If a particular model of 2080 ti catches your eye you could always order the system with no GPU and buy and fit your own 2080 ti from elsewhere.

Good info, thanks.
