[SOLVED] MSI 2060 vs Gigabyte 2060 Super

[maxcs]

Which card is better? (in thermals, build quality, noise levels, etc)

The MSI Gaming Z RTX 2060? -> https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/geforce-rtx-2060-gaming-z-6g (for me it's priced around 419 EUR)
or the GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Super -> https://www.gigabyte.com/en/Graphics-Card/GV-N206SGAMING-OC-8GC#kf (this ones priced around 449) (for me in europe atleast)

Please note the first card by MSI isn't the super version and the gigabyte one is.

gigabyte has windforce cooling technology which i have personally used for my r9 380 4gb.The thermals are really good and i havent gotten any higher temps than 78C.The gigabyte not only is it super but has 3 fans instead of msis 2,so there is another reason to go gigabyte.Again,I would go for gigabyte

A 2060 SUPER will be between 10-15% faster than a 2060 on average. The 2060 SUPER is basically a slightly cut down 2070, performing within about 5% of that card.

As far as the number of fans on a cooler goes though, that doesn't necessarily mean much. That MSI card only has two, but they are larger 90mm fans, while the Gigabyte has three, but they are just 80mm, and have fewer blades. More important to cooling performance is the amount of metal in the actual heatsink under the shroud, and that MSI card's heatsink is very wide and thick, making for a rather heavy cooler. Both designs should provide good cooling performance.

Of course, again, we are comparing a 2060 against a 2060 SUPER, and even the least-expensive 2060 SUPER should outperform any model of 2060 by at least around 10% on average.
