[yun3515]

which one has better:

1. heat management ?
2. how loud it is db ?
3. has a better fps?

I personally don't like (any of)the Dual's from Asus since their cooler is pretty much bare minimum compared to other cooler's they have strapped onto GPU's in their portfolio, not to mention that in most instances the prices are high(this might vary with region to region though). The heatpipes on the ASRock card are to my liking, given how they would add a little bit more in terms of heat dissipation.

They are the same GPU underneath, they will perform about the same in games, FPS wise.

1)Requires knowing what the total board power draw - not the TDP, they are different - is for both, as well as someone having tested 'em on an open test bench using custom fan curves; their coolers function differently too, so the moment they are put inside a standard case, things change favorably for one model, and negatively for the other.
2)You're going to tune the fans on either model to your comfort zone, and use distance from PC varies, ~so... impossible to say unless you test them side by side.
3)... yes.
