Posted January 9, 2019 So, I didn't look at the specs of my case the Louqe S1 and the first GPU I bought and it was way to big.... Thankfully I got Newegg to return it today so after TRIPLE CHECKING the specs I've narrowed it down to two different options. One of them a triple fan stock card and the other a dual with a slight overclock. I prefer EVGA but I feel that the extra fan might benefit in my SFF case. What GPU would you pick?

Posted January 9, 2019 I've heard that the G1 triple fan gigabyte cards have issues. It's terrible that I can't remember it off the top of my head, but I'd pick EVGA anyway because EVGA's service is god-tier 8086k aorus pro z390 noctua nh-d15s chromax w black cover evga 3070 ultra samsung 128gb, adata swordfish 1tb, wd blue 1tb seasonic 620w dogballs psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly they are both perform about the same, and EVGA has the better warranty. Id honestly get a better Triple fan design card, but alas you only have these two.

Posted January 9, 2019 I would chose the EVGA card. The G1 has poor reviews, compared to the EVGA card. EVGA also has extremely good customer service if your card ends up DOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always built in huge cases and I decided on this one to go as small as possible. My next build I'll probably go big again.

The gigabyte windforce gpu is in my pc currently. And it is pretty damn quiet. My last card was a gtx 970 evga acx 2.0 and god it was LOUD. I don't know if their new evga card is as loud as the acx 2.0 one, but i'd pick the gigabyte one. but if you're going beyond a rtx 2070, you might want to get the evga because of the high failure rates of the 2080 and 2080 ti, since evga has apparently good costumer support according to the comments above Damn....

Posted January 9, 2019 Both look bad, would prefer an fe card again. But the evga is the lesser of the two evils. So that would be my pick. Also wouldn’t put gigabyte product in my pcs.
