Are Big Triple Fan Graphics Cards Worth It? — Sound & Temperature Test
Small GPUs have their place... mostly in prebuilts, OEM systems, and (gasp) ITX builds... however generally bigger is better when it comes to graphics cards. Today we're going to test how much better using 2 (almost) identical GPUs except for their coolers! #techdeals #Triplefan #GPU Notes: #1. Yes, I'm aware these aren't EXACTLY the same cards... pretty close, but it's a fair complaint. This is the best I could do. #2. In general, you get what you pay for. Spend an extra $50 on your card and it's usually worth it over the 2-4 years people typically keep the cards. #3. The smaller 2 fan card here does NOT have a "fan stop mode", something I didn't notice until after filming this. The larger 3 fan card does, so it goes completely silent turning the fans off when not gaming. The 2 fan card always runs at least 30% fan speed, which is quiet, but not silent. #4. This was filmed back when these cards were $1K or less, in the middle of March they are now passing $1,200. That's just crazy and I can't remotely do a reasonable value comparison outside of their mining value. I will revisit them once prices return to normal (if?) — EBay Links — RTX 3060 Ti - http://pcdeal.tv/3pDaYfD RTX 3070 - http://pcdeal.tv/36wmnq6 RTX 3080 - http://pcdeal.tv/3tgMECj RTX 3090 - http://pcdeal.tv/2MnvmCY — Newegg Links — RTX 30 Series - http://pcdeal.tv/3alN15W — Amazon Links — RTX 3060 Ti - https://amzn.to/3tjmkay RTX 3070 - https://amzn.to/36z14UF RTX 3080 - https://amzn.to/3ctTDlx RTX 3090 - https://amzn.to/3apqchS ———— — Shopping Links (Affiliate Links Support Us!) — Amazon https://pcdeal.tv/Amazon B&H https://pcdeal.tv/BHPhoto Newegg https://pcdeal.tv/NewEgg Walmart https://pcdeal.tv/Walmart EBay https://pcdeal.tv/EBay BackBlaze https://pcdeal.tv/BackBlaze EwinRacing https://pcdeal.tv/EWin - Use Code TECHDEALS for 30% Off Win 10 Pro - $15 - https://pcdeal.tv/Win10Pro - Use Code TD20 for 25% Off — Game Store Links — Humble https://pcdeal.tv/Humble Fanatical https://pcdeal.tv/Fanatical GreenManGaming https://pcdeal.tv/GMG — Follow / Support Us — Patreon - https://pcdeal.tv/Patreon Buy Me a Coffee - https://pcdeal.tv/BuyMeACoffee Twitch - https://pcdeal.tv/Twitch Twitter - https://pcdeal.tv/Twitter
