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 for 30 minutes.
Fan noise is very innocuous, with the three fans spinning at just 1150pm, and that saw our sound meter hit 34dBa. Is it a massive difference compared to the Founders Edition? No, but it's still a very quiet graphics card either way, and I didn't notice any audible coil whine.
