Hello again,

is it worth saving ~25-30 € if you buy a reference 480 (XFX Radeon RX 480 XXX OC, 8GB GDDR5, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort) instead of for example a two fan 480

XFX Radeon RX 480 RS TripleX Edition 8GB (RX-480P8LFB6)

Are two/three fan really that much better?

As far as I can tell the clockspeed isn't too bad???

Wanna have some more confirmation or denial or whatever xD

 

Thank you in advance !

I have a friend who has this exact same card on his rig and literally the only complain he ever had was having to buy a displayport to dvi-d adapter.
Very solid card, and I personally always find the both AMD and nVidia references much better looking than the great majority of after market ones.

Don't buy a reference 480. You'd be better off buying an AIB 470 if you can't afford a better 480.
