PC Graphics

Hey everyone,

I have never had an AMD card before but I want to get the 9070 XT.

What most showcases or videos don't really seem to show is noise levels of GPUs. I am currently deciding which white RX 9070 XT to buy and I currently have pre ordered a Sapphire Pure for a good price because I read that Sapphire seems to have (some of) the quietest cards. Unfortunately my vendor has no planned delivery date and it's been like this for the last two weeks.

For the same price right now I can get either an XFX Swift, XFX Quicksilver or ASRock Steel Legend.

I know acceptable noise levels are different for everyone but I don't really want to buy e.g. an XFX right now instead of waiting if it is noticeably louder. Do you think waiting for the Sapphire is worth it or not?

Look for size and materials, like fin density. Todays fans are almost good across the board but bigger fans always translate into more airflow with lower rpm, so keep an eye on that too.

RoG is not going RED so one of the most overbuilt cards are out of the equation, which is a shame. In the RDNA2, RoG had serious good arguments as temperature goes.

TLDR; the bigger is normally the most silent due to better heat dissipation.
