Mine replaced a twin fan 3070. XT a little louder than that, but can still hardly hear it and my case fans are pretty quiet.
Not necessarily. The general logic is that three fans move more air than two fans thus they shouldn't have to spin as fast to move the same amount of air.
It wasn't straight forward for me using fan control app. Moving from a 7900xt, once I'd redetected new GPU the 9070xt fans wouldn't stay in sync until I toggled things on and off.
How do you think the support bracket feels? Mine seemed a bit wonky, might try and reseat it tomorrow?Got my 9070XT Nitro+ today.
At first I thought my old HAF-X was not gonna take it and would have to get a new case. Eventually managed to get it in carefully at a slight angle. The full tower HAFX looks small with this thing inside it. Cables look messy but the case is under my desk so no ones really going to see them.
The old 3080FE looks tiny next to the Nitro+.
If memory serves the Reaper is also a 2-slot card isn't it? So that probably makes it more popular with people with SFF cases. Last gen I was looking for a smaller card and it was really hard to find anything above the 4060/7600 level.
Nice to see a fellow optical drive enjoyer!Got my 9070XT Nitro+ today.

Can I ask what made you choose the Nitro+ as I was recently trying to decide between the Pulse/Pure and Nitro+ myself but came down on the side of the Pulse/Pure as it was slightly smaller since nobody (including me most of the time) will see it the RGB and hidden cable wouldn't offer me much benefit (in fact routing the power cables behind the motherboard tray may actual cause me issues), so it'd really only be the higher TDP. Or perhaps I don't want to know as it's cheaper if I go for the Pulse/Pure!
was toying with a 14600k OR 9700XT but no hurry
Yeah, they were at that price again today, that's why I was trying to decide, but I have a Pure on pre-order for £634.99 but it's not due until the end of April. Didn't know whether to stick with that or go for a Nitro+ (which wouldn't fit in all my cases).
Did exactly this when I got mine last week, swapped from 1440p to 4k and it really is a great 4k card.
The cheaper cards can hit similar peak clocks but cant sustain them as well. The GPU temp, VRAM temp and power limit make a difference to the average clock rate which is always higher on the premium cards due to better cooling solutions, higher power limits and usually better binned chips that require less voltage to attain those speeds. The max speed doesn't dictate the overall performance as most cards can't sustain it due to the above factors.
