I have a mini-itx case that would in theory fit a full size 240mm graphic card (with two vents), but would bearly fit and would be a bit squeezed between other components (power vent and HDD).

On the other hand, there are compact versions of cards with one vent.

But they are the same thickness so above and below the cards there would be the same amount of room. Also, I play games just occasionally, but still would like to have a cool & quiet pc.

So my question is:
- have less space but two vents with better cooling
- have more air-flow space but one vent

What should I choose?

OK. I don't want anything beyond 1050Ti, since I play games occasionally, otherwise its more of an office pc. Also, I'm on a budget.

So single fan or double fan? :??:
