Space isn't an issue in my case, but my other monitor uses a DVI-D cable. The problem is, the single fan 1660 Ti has a DVI-D port, while the dual fan one doesn't. So should I get the single fan 1660 Ti? The one I'm talking about is an Asus GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Phoenix OC 6GB.

Or would it be worth it to spend about 50€ more and get an Asus GeForce GTX 1660 Ti DUAL OC 6GB which is a dual fan with DVI-D port.

The single-fan design 1660TI's are performing pretty well but getting pretty warm under load.

84'C vs 61'C for a higher-end 1660TI (in this case, a Strix).

Both the Phoenix & Dual have DVI-D ports.

So would it be worth it to spend 40€ more (in total 350€) for an MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GAMING X instead of the Phoenix? Or would it make more sense to spend 50€ on top of that to just get an RTX 2060?
