Help mechoose my GPU

[ImNoBot]

I don't know if I should get the ASUS Turbo GTX 1060 or the ASUS Dual one, both are 6GB versions. I want to hear your experiences with these cards (Acoustics, Temperature etc.) before I choose. The Dual one is 30 euros more.

I'm torn between the two,

Dual is better, it has actual fans.

Blower style cards like the TURBO are for small form factor PCs and people that don't care about noise.

Dual is more expensive for a reason. It will be quieter and cooler due to not being a blower style fan.

Dual will be quieter and cooler, and possibly (very, very slightly) better performing cause of slightly higher base and boost frequencies on the GPU.

If you don't need a blower style cooler, get the dual fan one.

[TetraSky]

Like the others have said, the dual will be better for cooling and less noise.

However, if you have a very restrained case with very few air intake/outtake then a blower style might be better for you, to get rid of the hot air of the card in the back of your case instead of inside the case. But that's unlikely, except if you're building something like a tiny PC/HTCP.

 

But really, there's video cards still in stock in Europe?

dual doesnt even use heatpipes as far as  i know and only a copper plate with a small heatsink on the top. Also the Turbo one looks a lot better

rx 570 costs 190€ on amazon.de though since a few days prices have gone up there a lot as well

Where did you get this information? And that's subjective.

 

Any dualfan card is better than a blower, no matter heatsink size.

nope, i had a gtx 970 sc before the current one where only two of the 3 copper pipes could touch the gpu die and even without overclocking the card would have 80°C with fans at 2500 rpm. thats not better than a reference card in terms of noise/performance ratio

Right, because I can compare a 2014 version of a GPU based on a more power hungry architecture to a 2016 version based on Pascal. 

 

Shit changes.

the comparison was based on wattage, not actual gpu performance, you bring in something irrelevant. It was simply the behaviour of the cooler on a full gpu usage with certain wattages. MY aorus gtx 1080 ti can easily hit 84°C when its 30°C in my room at ~2000rpm fan speed which is already a bit noisy and on full speed (~2850rpm you cant really get lower than78°C when your case is already warm from the other components and the gpus heat. My case usually has around 55°C and the air inside

The Turbo one is 274$ and the Dual is 300$-310$.
