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.

One thing is immediately obvious when looking at the noise level charts, Sapphire knows how to make quiet graphics cards! The Nitro+ using the Silent BIOS, for instance, was so quiet that it was not audible in my testing environment, hitting the noise floor of 32dBa. The Gaming OC itself is still very easy on the ears, hitting 34dBa in the Silent BIOS and 36dBa using the OC BIOS, but it is mighty impressive just how quiet all three of Sapphire's cards are.
