Graphics Card Built For Mining Worth It?! EVGA vs Zotac P102-100 Blockchain GPU

[VoskCoin]

Is a graphics card built specifically for mining worth it to buy as opposed to a normal graphics card that comes in retail packaging and is good at mining AND gaming?
Today we review the mining specific Zotac P102-100 which has no display output or fans.
Thanks to Luke at Blockbrook Technology for allowing us to use one of his Zotac p102-100 to review! - http://bit.ly/2uheFwE

I didn't quite get it from the video: Do these cards need additional cooling, or the passive heatsinks attached to them are sufficient to cool them down efficiently? It's hard to imagine that they can mine without additional cooling of some kind, though. I ask this because for a hobbyist miner like me, the noise these cards make is a very important factor. If someone made passive cooling cards without the need for additional fans, they would be high on my list of GPUs even without any resale value.
