[SOLVED] Unsure of what type of RTX 2070 Super GPU I want to purchase?

[realghostbuster]

Hi there,
I'm hoping to purchase an RTX 2070 Super on Amazon for a new gaming PC I want to build but I'm unsure of which brand/version I should purchase.

There seems to be 3 or 4 versions of the card to choose from: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=rtx+2070+super&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 Some of the cards have different RAM types and different memory clock speeds. I've been reading about each type of RTX 2070 super on offer by Amazon but the information is a bit overwhelming to take in.

MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING X Version
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super WINDFORCE OC 3x 8G Gigabyte G-Force
Msi Geforce RTX 2070 Super Ventus GP OC

I'm just wondering why would someone choose a particular 2070 over a different version?

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

For instance....if you had great luck...or great reliability with a certain brand over the years....and you wanted to stick with it.

That would be one reason.

I have a few brands like that.

amazon´s informations about hardware is not the best and shouldn´t be taken too serious.

I'm just wondering why would someone choose a particular 2070 over a different version?

quietness/ fan noise/ coil wine, RGB effects, length (dimensions), clock speeds, overclock ability, temperature under load, warranty, utility from the brand, game bundles or similar, budget

this might be better for price comparison than only using amazon

Get model with 3 fans - Gigabyte windforce model.
It has better cooling.

Make sure, it fits into your case. Those are rather long cards.

I've been told that the Windforce model is much louder than the "Gaming OC" version. Also the cooler is not as good apparently.

Have you had an experience that suggests otherwise? Not sure whether I should get the Windforce or the Gaming OC version...

They both have same windforce cooling system. Gaming OC model runs at higher clocks. So it's Gaming OC model, that will be louder.
