Asking for a Mid-Tier GPU Upgrade Help

[TheOgre]

3-fan cards are typically 300mm long or more, but quite narrow in terms of width away from the motherboard
2-fan cards are usually ~250mm long but much wider, which is a different issue I have with a narrow HTPC cases like my GD05

There's not a lot of cooling performance difference between dual and triple fan variants because the total heatsink area is similar either way - so I wouldn't worry about it. The card you have looks like an optimal fit for your case TBH.

Yeah! It's a bit bulky and wider, but not SO long (but longer than I thought it would be for a two-fan card). In the end, it fits the case without issues, so nothing to complain here.

@TheOgre
So you bought 3070. Vamos

And using the same database you used before, the 3070 goes pretty well against the RX 6700 XT, which makes me happier with my choice.

Well... the card arrived yesterday, was installed and has already been put to the test. I've run some benchmarks in 3DMark, done an stress test on the whole system in AIDA64 for about 15 minutes and then played Control in ultra with ray tracing on (1080p) for another 15 minutes, just to test the stability of the system. So far, so good. Just hope it holds its own the same way my 1650 Super TUF did until now. Only one thing I should mention: even tho it's a two-fan card, or it's a bit bigger than other two-fan cards, or I'd be in trouble with a three-fan card here: the GPU and the GPU holder almost occupied almost all the internal space (length) of the case.

Nice card. Which GPU holder are you using?

The GPU holder is the Darkflash DL240.
