So...

If you want me to be pedantic even in Elite you are not actually in space but in a ships cockpit with alarms and comms and noise...... or in a space station, or you can land on a planet - its not silent on the Starship Enterprise ! ;)
 
I get the impression that all the OP really wants is to upgrade his GPU, and the noise levels are his justification for doing that. :p

Just facts.

My experience with my RX-480 was that replacing the thermal paste significantly improved performance.

There are aftermarket air coolers for
GFX cards that can run extremely quietly.
 
For now: Noise cancelling headphones and don't plug them in to anything.
For later: Best graphics card you can throw at it and retain your noise cancelling headphones.
 
Drill a hole in the wall, put the pc the other side and feed all the cables through to your side via the hole. Quiet then.

Well, it's if you care about really high framerate. I got "only" a mildly OC 6800K myself (which is more or less = to a R5 2600X), also with a V64, and for a lot of games it's not really enough for stable >120 fps. I only noticed when I was messing around with Far Cry 5 and it was having a hard time >100 fps even though the V64 was handling the game without a sweat.

Just the way it is I guess, for me I always push visuals so not as much of a concern but for >100 fps? Not quite there.

i'm only pulling your leg fella, to a certain extent. your post that the op would have to also replace his cpu is a tad wide of the mark though. that said i've just noticed the op says he plays without any sound. so a nonsense thread that probably is deserving of a few nonsense posts! :p
 
First of all a big thank you to all who replied, I appreciate the input. I've had a stressful day so this is the first opportunity to reply. I didn't expect so many replies tbh! Sorry for the thread title.

It appears that the card itself is on the way out. So I've put in a spare rx470 card for the time being.

I could have just waited a day and not posted at all.

Apologies for wasting everyone's time but thanks for all the suggestions anyway. It was a good read.
