Brand new, they're pretty much the same price point! what are the forum's thoughts on the merits of each? would love to know and hear your opinions, there's a lot of mis-information out there, depending on your team colours! Just like to hear some unbiased comments,
Cheers.

Interesting, my new build is on a theme of low power, so I'm not even considering anything that needs anything more than a single 8 or 6 pin additional power connector. Temp is also a factor in the new rig. I can see the benefits of a 1660 Super, and a basic 2060. I agree with you about the price point, but unfortunately, that is my price point, and I just have to deal with it, bot will be overall improvements on my Galax GTX 1060 6Gb Black.

Thanks for the input, I'll be honest I've been ignoring single fan cards on the belief they couldn't keep as cool as a basic dual model? Am I wrong on this and by how much? are there any reviews on GPU's against temps?

Was looking at this,
My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT Pulse 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £299.99

Total: £309.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)

Any Thoughts?

You're all right on many counts, but the 2700XT is 225w (No good for me) and I can buy the Saph pulse brand new for £277 delivered.
