I'm looking to purchase an RTX 5060 Ti with 16GB of memory, but I'm overwhelmed by the brand options available like Zotac, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, and others. Each brand seems to have its unique features. Could anyone help me narrow down the best brand choice? Also, should I go for a 2-fan model or a 3-fan model?

From what I’ve heard, the performance of all 16GB models is pretty much the same. The main difference you'll notice is in the noise levels; larger coolers usually run quieter. Since the RTX 5060 Ti is a 180-watt card, opting for a cheaper two-fan model should work just fine.
True, but I've found that noise levels really kick in at higher RPMs. A three-fan design might be a better pick since it can keep the temps down and the fans don't have to work as hard.
