I’ve accepted coil whine on high fps with my mba.

Not sure any card is immune.

I must have gotten lucky then as my Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT doesn't have any coil whine. Or certainly none that I can hear over the fans.

I think the pulse cards have a good reputation for little or no coil whine.

Same here my Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT has no coil whine

thats a shame, my mba is totally silent under load, tbh psu's do play a part in why gpu's are loud under load but again its not always the case, you could try multiple psu/gpu setups and still have some whine, just the luck of the draw, not a lot of people win it

Touch on my XTX Pulse but nothing to write home about.

SpudMaster · 27 Jul 2023 at 10:37

On my XT Pulse I've only really noticed coil whine on Doom Eternal. All other games I've tried like RE4 Remake it's pretty much silent :-)

yeah that’s why I was asking what everyone’s PSUs are, just in case mine is the issue.
For reference I have a ThermalTake toughpower sfx 1000w

Will the 7900xt pulse be fine running on a sf600 platinum PSU?

ah i'm on a asus tuf 1000w gold with my xtx mba, no whine from either under load

The AMD cards seem pretty good for lack of whine generally compared to Nvidia it seems?

That might be the AMD fine whine i keep hearing about :-)

It might be, but would be very marginal - minimum is listed as 700w and tbh I'd probably personally go at least 850 as I prefer to have plenty of headroom with PSUs

I guess it's best to stick to my 4070 then

Possibly, is the rest of your system still as per your sig (R7 1700 in a prodigy M)?

If you wanted more performance, then there are SFX PSUs available at higher ratings but all depends on budget and whether the gain is worth the money to you (and as GhostDog says, the 7900XT pulse is now £29 more!)

Oops I use mobile so didn't realise my Sig was that old. I'm in a nr200 with 5600x.

Ah Ok, was gonna say that the 1700 would almost certainly be a heavy bottleneck on the 7900xt, with a 5600 it wouldn't be so bad (although might still be slightly limiting, I'm not sure - I'm currently using a 3700x and it seems ok to me)

with a 65w CPU (and I'm guessing from the case that you just have 1-2 m.2 drives and not much else drawing power), then 600w would probably be enough (e.g ~360w for the card and ~100-120w for the rest of the system), but would still be running the PSU nearer to flat out than I would be happy with long term..... So again it's all down to your budget and what value you place on it
