The gamers nexus review is honestly complete rubbish I assume his PC is in an oven? I have no clue how he managed to get his temps that high.

I don't doubt that aibs are cooler but it operates well below it's thermal cap either way so you gain nothing other than hwinfo showing you a different number.

Personally I'd definitely avoid Pulse since my Vega 56 Pulse had that obnoxious high pitched sound which is actually super annoying.

But hey do whatever you want it's your money haha .

Not 1 then, thanks bud

Any graphics card on an open bench is going to be audible, in a closed case it gets muffled. My XT is audible while gaming but it's no more annoying than my previous Fury X with its coil whine.

Some aren't interested in first hand experience, they just want to parrot their favourite YouTube personality, or tech website. They don't have thoughts of their own.

The whole noise issue has been largely cooked up by people with emotional or financial ties to Nvidia; it's sheer desperation. Let's not forget that Nvidia only stopped using blowers with the RTX series, with even their most high-end GTX cards being available with blower based cooling! Where was the outrage with those? Anyone?

I don't understand how anyone can take a review at face value, it's just so incredibly naive lol.

I ended up going with the reference version of the 5700XT based on people's personal experiences on here and honestly they were completely right.

I don't know what is going on with the reviews but they really are extremely misleading in this case.

Open bench testing, with their faces pressed up against the cooler, and a bag of Nvidia cash in each hand.

So they were lying to me, saying their stock was late.

Not everyone who owns an XT will undervolt & underclock so their experience may be.... this? Yep, 2100rpm on the XT blower is not the jet engine people like to make it out to be.

If you use the Auto Undervolt in Wattman, you'll end up with a cooler gpu and boosting higher. First hand experience like R3v4n is saying. Man, that name was hard to type. lol

AMDs cooling solution of choice is completely untenable (considering how the vastly superior dual fan comes at a mere 10$ more) and whilst admittedly the issues are overexaggerated there is no need to embellish the situation.

I haven't embellished anything though, just given an accurate account of my experience with it, which is rather good.

If it were an extra £10 it would certainly be more attractive to get a non reference, but some of these premiums are a bit ridiculous to say the least (especially on OCUK tbh).

Here is my 5700XT. Thank you.

I'm manually undervolting. My lowest power profile is 1800mhz/901mv. It's game & even scene dependant but in metro exodus for example the fan runs at about 1500rpm whilst the card approaches the temperature target of 80c. Or fan adjusted it hangs around 65c at 1900rpm approx. At stock 2100rpm I find it a little loud but the sound profile isn't annoying. 1900rpm & under I simply don't notice it. Gz on your card btw

What avg power usage do you get with your card in wattman or with killawatt in wall at 1800/901mv when gaming some?

It's not $10 for us though... more like $50! If only one region are getting good prices, then I'm afraid that particular argument falls rather flat, doesn't it.

Well I was just playing No Mans Sky - average seemed in region of 110-115 GPU only power draw:

Something like Metro Exodus was 120-130.

Wow. That's like a GTX 1660 or something. I'm gonna check how much the UPS is reading for whole system and monitor next game.
