We take our noise measurements with the sound meter positioned 1 foot from the graphics card. I measured the noise floor to be 32 dBA, thus anything above this level can be attributed to the graphics cards. The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.
Noise levels are very decent, too. Under load we saw the fans spin at 37%, or 1370rpm, and that produced just 35dBa of noise – a very similar level to the 4070 Super Founders Edition.
