Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade the RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black 8G OC on my pre-built MAG Infinite S3 13NUC7-820DE to a MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB. I'm unsure though, if I also want to choose rather the MSI Gaming Radeon RX 6950 XT. But, my actual question is, if the coolers could prevent the gpu(s) to overheat. I couldn't find any information about the coolers on my pre-build, so I'm just asking here. I do know that I would need a better power supply.

Hi
You should be good to go I think.
From what I can see though, is your case doesn't have a fan in the rear. You may want to add it as an exhaust to help with the airflow.
Both cards are roughly similar with performance from what I can see, though 4070ti ever so slightly more powerful. One will beat the other in some games and vice versa. I think it's down to which games you will play and at what resolution. And then if you prefer AMD or Nvidia, and how much you are willing to spend. Price to performance I think 6950XT makes more sense.

Hello!
I read this a few minutes after your post! I forgot to say thanks! I still haven't gotten my rear fan and graphics card as I'm relatively new to pc building... and I don't want to make any mistakes! I've realized that I would need a better motherboard for the 6950XT. I've scrolled for a bit and seen that most of the good motherboards, that would fit very well with my specs are micro-AXT. (I think its called that) I would also be happy if you could answer or somebody else if the pc case accepts the motherboard. The space in my case looks good enough to fit the gpu itself and I think it should fit, also help with that if there could be issues with that.

Why your motherboard wouldn't be sufficient for that card? If it's already running a 4060 then there isn't anything "better" you can really throw in, especially at m-ATX size.
