I'm building a new PC and the only thing I'm missing is the GPU. I'm committed to getting a 5060 Ti 16GB and have been keeping an eye on prices in my country. Recently, I found both the MSI Ventus 3X OC and PALIT Infinity 3 OC for the exact same price, but I'm trying to decide which one is the better choice. I'm looking for insights on recent company reputations, build quality, personal experiences, and any other relevant info about these models. I'd appreciate your help since these are the only two that really fit my budget!

Honestly, I'm leaning toward the Palit Infinity. The MSI Ventus tends to be really noisy, and while MSI does have some great premium models, the Ventus isn't one of them. I just find it hard to recommend it when there are other options like the Palit that are quieter and do the job well.
You might want to consider the thermal performance too. The MSI Ventus has decent temps but uses loud fan speeds unless you manually adjust them. The Palit Infinity, on the other hand, is quieter and operates at lower stock fan speeds, which is nice! Just keep in mind they both have average build quality.
But where did you get this info? Always good to verify!
If both cards are the same price, just go for the one that looks better to you. Aesthetics can really make a difference in how you feel about your build! Thermal differences shouldn't matter much for an average user, especially with a low power draw card like the 5060 Ti. Plus, I usually game with a headset on, so I don’t pay attention to fan noise anyway.
Exactly! The noise doesn't bother me either since I wear headphones.
I totally agree! Ventus is just not worth it in this price range.
