I'm looking to upgrade from my RTX 3070 Ti and I'm trying to decide between the Asus Prime RTX 5070 and the Asus Dual RTX 5070. My main priorities are cooler temperatures, low noise, and reliability, as I mainly play Battlefield 6 and don't care much about boost clocks. Here are the specs of my current setup: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI, and 32GB of G.Skill Flare X5 at 6000MHz. Has anyone had experience with these two models? I'd love to hear which one runs cooler and quieter in real-world situations!

What about coil whine? Does anyone have insights into how noisy these cards can get? That's one thing I'm a bit worried about.
Definitely the Prime! More fans mean they'll spin slower to achieve the same cooling levels, which is great for noise reduction. Also, while reliability can vary, I've had good luck with my Prime cards.
I'd go with the Prime. It has three fans which usually means better cooling and less noise. It’s a solid choice if you want to keep your system quiet and cool.
Have you considered the RX 9070 XT? It's actually better and often priced similarly!
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm specifically focusing on the RTX models right now.
