What are the pros and cons of these two GPUs:

  • MSI Gaming Radeon RX 6700 XT​

  • ASUS Dual AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT​

I've narrowed my list to the above two cards and can't decide which one to purchase. I'd like one that is very quiet and has no coil whine.

​

 
Both seem to be great but the Asus is 50 bucks cheaper right now on amazon so maybe that one?

That being said, I have to ask... why not get a reference 6750XT from amd.com directly? It handily beats up the 6700 XT and is available at MSRP. Just wondering.

EDIT: Not sure about coil whine as that seems to be very random.
 
I like the idea of getting a 6750XT but I have $200 in gift cards over at Amazon so I'd like to purchase a card there plus Amazon has a great return policy. I bought a AMD Radeon R9 FURY X at Amazon a while back and had to return two of them because of massive coil whine before I got one that was totally silent and they gave me no trouble returning them.

According to GPU Benchmark the 6750 XT is 7% faster than the 6700 XT, I don't think that is a major upgrade unless there are other things it offers that I'm unaware of.

Also, my case is a Cooler Master HAF 922 (it's considered "vintage" now if you look at the auctions on ebay) so I need a card that has only two fans and is less than 31cm long (12.2 inches). I'm afraid any GPU with 3 fans is simply too long. I like my current R9 FURY X because it's like 7 inches long (not counting the radiator).
