[SOLVED] Is £10 worth it for 2 fans vs 1?

[Blizzyx-]

Been looking at a gigabyte gtx 1650 super is £10 extra worth it for the double fan model? I’m just wondering if it will affect any oc on the card at all.

For 10 extra, I'd go for it. Whilst single fan solutions aren't bad, the cards can get on the warm side. Having a dual fan GPU will keep temps lower, allow higher boost clocks on OC/SC versions, and will be a little quieter at load too.

Not worth it on a low power card if at same clocks.

I'd opt for the dual fans. Depending on your system set up it could get warmer than needed and you could run that si gle fan out faster than needed always best to opt for 2 if you can ar an affordable price point

Thanks also wondering the difference between a sapphire nitro+ rx 580 vs an xfx fatboy OC+ rx 590 . Which one would be better with an overclock on both and how much if so. They're also the same price for me.

The fatboy if I recall is much heavier of a card and would require a strong hold to it from sagging. There is a reason why the 580s are still at a high price as they are a great card. Look st different 580s as oppose to the sapphire one

It’s £20 cheaper for the am XFX 580 is it worth it or is the nitro+ 580 worth it for the £20?

I'd take a Sapphire over an XFX all day long.
