GPU advice

Would like to ask on the differences between Asus Strix 5700XT and PowerColor Red Devil 5700XT and which one would be better.

I get that the fps and performance is almost the same but what about the cooling and such?

Also asking if it's actually worth to take Asus over PowerColor if it is cheaper by about 30$.

Go for the Powercolor, While the asus one IS cheaper, it also got a way worse cooler than the Red Devil one. So those extra 30$ is worth it.

The Asus Strix has the best design (the most efficient VRM design, the used parts, capacitors and layout) and decent cooling, but it's overpriced.

The PowerColor Red devil is the second best closely followed by the Sapphire Nitro+.

The others are pretty much all the same, except the XFX Thicc II which uses a worse VRM than the refference card.

 

I will probably save $100 by purchasing the Sapphire Pulse 5700X (3600 Croatian kuna) over the Strix 5700XT (4250 kuna).

Was recommended by a friend to get Sapphire Pulse 5700XT as well but I was a bit debated since it's only two fans.
Does it really matter if it's 2 or 3 fans for the gpu?

Trying to see which one provides more value per price, currently I am able to get both Strix 5700XT and Pulse 5700XT for about 35$ cheaper than the PowerColor.

The ASRock version has an extra year of warranty, and a similar cooling performance at similar noise levels. (and in the USA at least, at a lower price point) Just have to turn down the fan curve a bit, since it's way too aggressive.
