they are all the same. Get an aftermarket model, they are cheaper and have better coolers. Asus Strix or G1 Gaming are my favorite

They're all virtually identical aside from the box they come in.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

funny zotac came up, they're making a compact 1080 which still does better than the founders edition. I think that sums it up

Oh nice!

 

You know what's funny, there are no compact single fan RX 480s or 470s. And it's not like you can't make them, Sapphire made a compact R9 380 and that's a 200W card.

I wish we had ITX RX480's, they only seem to be getting larger though lol. I feel like there's so much "AMD makes hot cards" surrounding that topic they wouldn't sell well

I bet that's what board partners think but honestly all they need is a youtube video showing the card being very cool and quiet and bam.


I personally would always choose the massive Gaming X one though :D

XFX sent a bunch of samples to youtubers and I think that's why the GTR is so popular now, because I don't think people would go for an XFX card they've never heard about. :P

It's has a massive factory OC but you can get a Strix or G1 and overclock them higher. The FTW also costs a lot.

It's not really that small compared to the dual fans either.

I think they have an exclusive deal with Nvidia, just like XFX has with AMD. it makes me sad.

Ah that's probably right. They probably get discounted GPUs for their exclusivity.

Shame, I wonder if that will ever change in the future :P. I'd love to see an ACX single fan on both sides

The G1 is $599.99 on Newegg, Strix $669.99, FTW $609.99 so there's not a lot of difference in price.
