Wondering about cooling

[yeehaw]

So i'am going to buy a new gpu eventually and i've been mostly thinking of the GTX 1660TI and i was wondering how good is the cooling on the PNY GTX1660TI Gaming OC XLR8 and does it get that loud?

Where i live that card goes for 315€ and there are like two other MSI 1660ti's that go for around 10€ less and are dual fan cards, the reason i'm looking at the PNY card is cause it has a dvi connector un-like the MSI cards.

Of course if there are any other suggestions for a gpu i could go for i will look into those for sure but right now i'am just looking for info on the cooling on PNY card.

Thanks in advance and sorry if some of the text is a little ramblely (dunno if i spelt that right) it's just how most the text i type seems to come out.

Any EVGA, ASRock, Zotac, Gigabyte ones around that price ?

Even 1660S?

 

the XLR8 should only be meh, as it's a single fan 2 slot card.

There's an EVGA XC Gaming one for 15€ more, should i go for that one instead even though it's a single fan card aswell?

It should be better i think, but not by much. Are there any GTX1660 Super also ? Because it's basically the same GPU as 1660 Ti performance-wise.

There are a few GTX1660 Super's but most of them are only about 10-15€ less and dont seem to be much better looking cooling wise.

Correction there a few that are around 265-270€ but it seems most of them are either single fan cards or don't have a dvi connector which i would really love to have.

Be wary that you'll want DVI only if it's DVI-D (digital), none of modern GPUs support DVI-A (analog).

Ok i didn't know there is a DVI-A but yeah all the times i said DVI i meant DVI-D, sorry for not being specific.

As for the GPU itself should i for a Asus Dual model of the 1660 super for 285€, and for something that may not be as related to the original question is there any downside to a DP to DVI-D adapter because there is a gigabyte 1660ti that is 300€ but doesnt have a DVI-D connector but i could an adapter for 13€.

GTX1660 Super and Ti are nearly identical performance-wise, treat them as such.

DVI-D and HDMI to DVI-D adapters are passive so there's no downside other than you'll have it sticking from the case farther than native cable.

Single-fan GTX1660 Super\Ti should be fine, it's very chill GPU, especially if you have at least some airflow in your case.
