Is the Palit RTX 5070 Infinity 3 worth choosing over the Gigabyte Windforce OC SFF?

The exact cooler designs matter more than the brand name. Check independent reviews for both models, especially temperature and noise results, and compare their boost clocks and power limits. Also make sure the SFF model’s compact size is actually useful for your build; otherwise, paying extra for it may not make much sense.

I’d lean toward the Palit if its dimensions fit your case and it has a reasonable warranty. In-game performance should be very close, while the biggest noticeable difference may be fan noise or operating temperature. Palit cards can offer perfectly adequate cooling and support, although individual experiences with reliability and warranty service can vary.

They should deliver nearly identical gaming performance because they use the same GPU. The main differences are the cooler, fan noise, temperatures, factory overclock, physical size, warranty, and customer support. Unless the Gigabyte card has a feature you specifically need, €110 is a fairly large premium for those differences.
