Question Quietest 9070 xt card?

[boed]

Just curious if there is one you think is quietest. I know strix used to be the one years ago but it has been a while since I've looked. Would love to see some db benchmarks.

The $600 MSRP cards are the quietest. You can scarcely hear them. It's almost as if they're not there at all.

Yeah if you don't have one right now, I don't know when you'll be able to easily get one and be picky about it.

I was reading some Microcenter reviews this morning and there were some gripes about coil whine on some cards, but who knows under what conditions those are. If they have some game menu open a 1000 fps or whatever, have it paired with a good PSU or what have you. Still, just looking for a through line on the reviews.

I would have had a $720 9070XT but I stopped to find a review on it and in that two minutes NewEgg sold out of that model, of course.

The scalper-fu was high at Newegg at launch. Twice I already had a card ostensibly purchased (in my order history and confirmed) only to have Newegg cancel due to insufficient stock. So stopping to look at anything first would barely make a difference.

Amazon, OTOH, had stock on the release date for once and delivered yesterday.
