Which processor is better?

On rtx cards, getting that error means you have a bad card which is crashing out.
9/10 is due to overheating.

Asus cards are the absolute worse when it comes to that.
Its one of the companies which during a silicon shortage went with: “hey lets skip QA alltogether! Make more money on stuff we sell for $2.5k yay!”

I replaced 4 3090s and 2 3080s in the past year. Safe to say, won’t be buing anything Asus anymore if i can help it.

Anyway, RMA your card if you can.

If not, then its trash.
If its trash, you may as-well take it apart, buy a custom water block, install it, and try running it as watercooled.

Chances are you’ll find a glove tip or some other stuff between the logic board and the cooling pad if you bought Asus :stuck_out_tongue:

If not, and the water cooling doesnt help, then the constant heat has degraded the circuitry too much. You have yourself a nice little brick.

Note that any UE4 game will also crash the card, so all its good for, if even, is mining at that point.

In the case of a 10x series, its not even worth attempting the water block.
Toss it and get a 30x version.
