I presume we're talking about games rather than benchmarks here? If so, no the GFX would be the bottleneck at these resolutions and not the CPU. That setup should get excellent performance.

The XT and the XTX are different in other ways apart from clock speed. The XTX can overlock quite a bit higher than the XT, in general, at lower voltages.

I've not really read it anywhere. Just comparing the overclocking results of the cards on different forums and to my own overclock as well. The XTX cards seem to be able to reach higher clock speeds at lower voltages.
It makes sense though, the XTX would most likely have the best GPUs and the XTs have the speed binned ones that didn't make the XTX version.

Kind of true.

The XTX has a guaranteed 1.1ns ram whereas the XT is guaranteed 1.2ns. However, the first batch of XTs all seem to have come with 1.1ns. As SCCR pointed out though, no-one knows if this will continue. I suspect later batches will revert back to 1.2ns, as originally planned.
