Currently I have a Gefore GTX 760 with 2 gigs of vram and I'm not to happy with it's performances on some of the recent games I play. I'm looking into a 1060 because it's under $300 and has 6 gigs of vram. The problem is that I don't know which one to buy. As long as it has 6 gigs of vram and is under $300 dollars it sounds good to me but I'm confused about the differences between the single fan version and the two dual fan versions on Amazon. They all have the same base clock so how does the single fan keep up with the dual fans? Is it a lot louder or hotter? I don't see the point in getting one of the dual fan versions if the single fan is the same.

So is the single fan a better option? If it is lighter, smaller, and cheaper what is stopping me from getting that vs the dual fan ones? I don't plan on overclocking so I wouldn't need the other versions.

I think I'll go for the single fan thanks to you. I would assume the airflow would be better for me because the position of the PCI slot makes the GPU fan face right into the bottom of the case and the smaller card would give me more room. I'm not too worried about the noise as I wear headphones for the majority of the time I'm on my computer.
