I'm getting them for the exact same price

Pros/Cons of each?

I'm thinking about getting the 2 fan.

Is there any performance difference? Are 2 fans better than 1? Is the single fan higher quality? Is smaller form factor better? I have the room for my case.

RX 480 $200

GTX 1060 $170 same results, lower heat, lower power, better drivers, better warranty

Yeah it's about a 2-3% better performance on SOME games with dx12, but it's overall a 7% less performance over a large span of games.

Besides that~!

Which drivers are you looking at?
Just asking many people seem to forget amd cards are released half assed and made better after drivers
Like fine wine
While Nvidia releases a finished product
Example 290 vs 780ti
Ti was clear winner in beginning
Now 290 far exceeds the ti
