Is there really a big difference ?

 

And the trio X has 3 fans, but does that really have significant effects on temps?

 

In other words which is the best (and second ,third best...) option out of these? 

I get  the ftw (lolol) is more expensive, but why, what does it have the others don't?

 

Lastly, which is more silent, MSI or EVGA?

 

 

(Btw, of course I know Big Navi 30xx is about to be released, however, for several reasons I do believe a 20xx would be preferable for me right now, and I'll get a 30xx 'Super' later, if need be, thanks)

It's just a different cooler and/or overclocking preset. They're all within 3% performance of each other. Some will have slightly better temps though, and may have some extra overclocking headroom.

 

You can check the tier list here for further details:

I see. I also just checked , these cards have probably all different quality of the pcbs, and other parts too... It's just hard to tell which ones the more"premium" versions because except for the FTW they're all priced very similar...

 

I'll check this thread maybe I find what I'm looking for...  (Btw temps , noise levels are more important than overclocking to me, tho it still would be nice they'd overclock not totally shit haha)

Well, 3 of the cards mentioned are in Tier B, so should do quite well relatively speaking for cooling and noise. (Tier B is the best non-watercooled cards)

Ok but question, how do I get this 8pin cable, is it usually included? Because my psu comes only with 6pins...?

So would these work? I mean they probably should but I'm not entirely sure they're *exactly* for my PSU

And is 500w enough - I know my PSU is good but the watts... Uhh. 650w is "recommended".

 

 

Edit: so cpu ~ 90w (I don't trust those"75w" at all)

System, ~85w?

GPU 220w , or more if I OC (which probably doesn't make much sense as I'm probably rather CPU bound)

 

~395w

 

 

Is that how it works?

Don't bother. Just get a cheap 2x6-pin to 8-pin adapter.

500W is likely to be pushing the limits of the PSU. I wouldn't go for less than 600W with the new stuff just for safety's sake. 750W if you want to hit the peak of your PSU efficiency curves under load.

Oof, that means another~100 bucks down the drain...

I was hoping I wouldn't need a new psu but I kinda figured it would be cutting it real close with 500w.

 

In that case a 3070 would be also an option if I need a new PSU anyways.

 

 

And yeah even if I don't necessarily want to OC the option would be really nice of course - it's kinda fun a few more fps here and there couldn't hurt either.
