What are the pros/cons of going with a founders edition?
Pros
Smol - SFF compatible apparently.
Price - MSRP.
Looks - Subjective but the Founder Editions are almost always the best looking cards (so far this generation this is holding true).
Dual Slot - Will fit almost anywhere.
Cons
Noise - Any good partner will be quieter
Heat - Any good partner will be cooler.
Availability - Depending on where you are partner cards will likely be more readily available.
Output options - Partner cards can alter their outputs so some might come with more than one HDMI, the founders will always come with one.
It really is a damn good looking card though, I hope they evolve this design for the RTX60s im inevitably gonna get. (skipping this generation).
