which GPU to buy R7 360 by asus or gigabyte

[gilsport]

Hi,

I am considering two options:

Asus AMD R7 360 2G GDDR5 R7360-OC-2GD5 - two fans

Gigabyte AMD Radeon R7 360 OC 2GB GDDR5 - one fan

the price is almost the same, but Im wondering regarding the noise of the fans on the cards.

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, the dual fan unit is likely to be quieter, since they both have the same GPU and are likely to generate similar heat profiles. Two fans can perform the same cooling job as one fan, at a much lower RPM, thus a quieter experience overall. At unloaded idle the single fan card MIGHT be a touch quieter, but under any kind of real load it's going to have to work twice as hard to keep the GPU card cool which means it will be running at way higher RPM, which of course is what increases sound pressure.
