Why do you guys cut away so quickly from graphs while Tom speaks? We don't need to see Tom's face so much, you can keep the graphs up and let Tom talk for a while. I'm speaking about the instance at 12:19 in particular. You cut away from the graph too soon, and for what? So we can see Tom talk to us? I mean he even specifically says "as you can see here" but by then the graph is already gone. If he's going to verbally point out something on the graph, at least keep the graph up for that point. :)

Based on how aerodynamics work I think that if you remove one of two fans and cover the hole with some sticky tape the cooler will be more effective and less noisy. Having two fans on a cooler like this causes no airflow on the middle of the card because the fans pushes air one against the other. A coolers like this sould have only one fan on the middle just like gtx 690.

I'm a real Silence freak and yet i brought this card before seeing your review.. and i'm glad i did.. At desktop it's silent as the fans don't spin, in games there's just a gentle woosh sound coming from the fans.. infact my 2x 140mm corsair fans running around 50% are nosier.. even with these fans turned off i could barley hear this card with the case closed.. I think they have either updated the drivers, you had a bad card or Your just insanely fussy about noise. Temps are about 69-75C at full load.. but my case temps haven't risen.. Love your reviews BTW.

Also is it worth an extra £30 for the Sapphire one?

Hi Tom, really liked ur review vid. Especially abt the balls-fondling part. LOL. Just a question regarding the noise issue. There have been conflicting views on whether that, even a good case with proper noise dampening, would still be audible. I have an ongoing Fractual Design Node 804 gaming rig with quietness as one of the priorities. Also I have read on reddit that this Nitro card is the loudest of all Radeon cards. Is it really that bad? Here, in Japan, it cost ard USD 350 so I really need to get ur advice before I commit to purchasing one. Thx and keep up the good work!

I have tried cleaning them and changing the thermal paste, this all helped quite a lot actually but not enough. Is there anything I can do or shall I just call it a day and buy a new, quieter card like this one? Well, not this one id choose the 1060 over this but you get my point.

Hiya i want to buy a graphic card that would be on par with the ps4 pro, i was thinking about buying the rx 480 8gb version, i understand the ps4 pro has a some form of the rx 480 4gb version built in, that is able to upscale to 4k. Considering the 480 8gb pc version cant run games properly in native 4k and cant upscale them to 4k, would it still beat the ps4 pro for graphics. If not is there a graphics card on the market with the same power consumption as the 480, that will be as good as the ps4 pro, for similar money as the 480, or is there a older card that would be as good ,that i could buy second hand that would run on a 600w psu.

I'm gonna have a front 200mm. intake, 2 lower font bottom 140mm. intake, 1 140mm. pivot fan as intake blowing towards the video card, a 200mm. side panel intake, a 140mm. rear exhaust and my Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 at the top is in push/pull exhaust.

Had some odd issues with my sapphire 470 with the fans ramping to full once it hits the target temp (75c in my case) but fiddling with the fan speeds in wattman and rebooting seems to fix it, at least for a while. Have been torture testing it now for 3 days straight and they haven't gone over 55% or so despite very hot weather. At 55% or so the fan noise is negligible.

I really hate one thing lately, the R9 390 is almost NEVER in the tests.. :( I got Sapphires's R9 390 8 Gb Nitro card, it makes less noise then the rest of my system, I cant hear it most of the time.. :D but it has a MASSIVE cooler and 3 fans so maybe they just doesnt have to work as hard, temsp are 65 - 76 degree's C depending on what I play. :) I had MASSIVE issues in Fallout 4 all year almost, but that got fixed now, I was starting to think my card was faulty just as my old 970 was, but it seems it was just fallout 4 or a driver problem because now its just fine, even managed to overclock it some without any issues. :) I got a Corsair 650D Chassi with the stock fan setup. :)

Would sticking an aftermarket water cooler on this card to replace the fans solve all the problems and then you would have the presumably better binned GPU to overclock than the inferior ones on the non-OC card... any nice AIO cooler that fits this card?

No AIO mounts yet. And with the money it would cost surely youd be better off just buying a better GPU?

I live in a hot country (Indonesia). It was 34C outside my house when I first got this card, and my PC case is a compact one (Corsair 88R) with H100i v2 as front intake radiator. The temp of this card under full load was 89C. Then I tested the card in a cooler ambient temperature, and the lowest I could get was 82-83C. A bit disappointed temperature-wise, but satisfied in terms of performance and aesthetics.

What about the MSI RX 480 Gaming? Also, how about using a 200mm Fan right over the graphics card to help cool it as well? Currently my MSI R9 280 Gaming runs at 58 C on Full load DOOM 1080p on High/ Ultra Graphics @ 60 fps. When I OC this to 1010 Mhz Core, 1350 Memory, it still sits at 58 C on Full load with DOOM. I'm currently looking for a good priced card that can do what my current card does, has better future compatibility, and runs at a lower temperature on games like DOOM on 1080p. I may however wait to buy a Vega 10 card. Any Suggestions?

Should i buy this or a zotac 1060 amp! ? They are the same price here.

@nathanhoxie4427 7 жыл бұрын

I would never buy a Zotac product just because of the higher failure rates and bad RMA service. The only place you will notice a difference in performance is in games running DX11 or older where the 1060 eeks out slightly better performance. In almost everything DX12, this card wins out by about 15-20 fps. It's up to you in the end, but I don't like the repuation of Zotac and the performance is going to be about equal.

Has the loud noise been fixed?

@nathanhoxie4427 7 жыл бұрын

I've had this card for about 2 weeks now and haven't noticed any fan noise except when I've messed with the rpms to see what it sounds like and find a custom rpm curve that I feel comfortable with. The "automatic" setting for the fans is pretty pathetic as the fans don't really start to do anything until about 60 degrees and then it ramps up pretty fast from there. As I mentioned, you can set a custom curve for it where the fan will be running at say 10% at 50c and then 20% at 60c and so on, so that's more helpful than just being locked in to the automatic settings. All of that being said, I have some loud, old case fans so this thing is pretty quiet in my setup. The newer drivers fixed a lot of issues this card was having and it's been running beautifully for me.

That's going to be up to your system honestly. If you can spare the wattage and extra heat then the Sapphire Trixx software will allow you to set the clock from the program. It's also going to depend a lot on the performance you are getting. out of it with the OC where it is. If fps is fine in most games, I would personally leave it alone.

I picked up the 4GB model for 200 pounds, for the money the performance is amazing the fans are the only weak point as it's abit loud at default settings but if you mess around with the power limit and cap the fan speeds it can be made to be reasonably quiet and still perform like a beast. The default 2300rpm fan limit will make your computer sound like an air conditioner unit under load but that's the compromise you pay for a cheaper card.

wakesake I had a Tri-X one (same color as toxic but with less OC), the temperature went up to 80-ish during benchmarks for some reason but during gaming it never went over 70. The thing died on me last week and now I'm waiting for RX 470 replacement.

Warzey yeah i know which one you mean, and i think that when you used synthetic benchmarking the card knew that and just to get better scores it run hotter and louder while in gaming stayed very cool Mine did the same thing the toxic one here is a nice thread about it www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/sapphire-r9-280x-toxic-edition-oc-3gb-review/20/ i would recommend the 480 instead of the 470 if you would like a nice step up from your 280x/380x

Extremely happy with mine and have overclocked to 1450MHz with 2150MHz ram speeds.All my games run on maximum settings, v-synce & Nvidia stuff off with no problems.I see no reason for me to get a AMD Vega card as my monitor's only 1080P.
