[SOLVED] Whats the difference between GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 6GB OC and GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 6GB Windforce OC

Hey!
As the title says I'm wondering whats the difference between GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 6GB OC (GV-N2060OC-6GD) and GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2060 6GB Windforce OC (GV-N2060WF2OC-6GD) and which between the two GPUs is better?

I think they have a different manufacturers core clock. Usually manufacturers will slightly increase the core clock on different variants of GPU's and they sell the higher clocked ones for more. Basically Windforce OC has a slightly higher core clock than OC.

If it saves you $50, I would personally just get the OC

Probably due to slightly better cooling solution, the Windforce has a slightly higher Core Clock. Otherwise, the two are identical to the point of just getting the cheaper of the two.

I'd get the 3 fan cooler over the 2 fan every time.
It achieves the same level of cooling as the 2 fan solution while running at lower rpms.
And being the stronger cooler gives it the potential for higher clocks - but this doesn't amount to much, as it's really depends more on the quality of the silicon.
