Hello guys, I have a simple question, which 960 should I buy out of these two?

 

Option 1: Gigabyte PCX GeForce GTX960 2GB GDDR5

Option 2: VGA Point of view GTX 960 2GB Trooper edition

They're in two different stores in my city and the prices are exactly the same, so which one is better/more efficient?

Gigabyte.

 

I'm sure the cooling is probs quite a bit better on it than the VGA PoV Trooper Edition, and it's faster.

But what about the fans? The Gigabyte version only has 1

 

Plus the POV one looks sexy af

Yes but it's a blower style cooler, which means that you'll have much less airflow then you would with the Gigabyte. The single fan Gigabyte cooler is fine.

The POV also only has one fan, which is a blower fan, it will not cool as well as the gigabyte will due to the more restricted airflow, and it will also be louder.
