AMD's Latest Game Bundle Makes a Mockery of Nvidia's GTX 1650 Pricing

i normaly buy nvidia for the past 10 years and from MSI.



but now i need a GPU for a new built (for my sister) and the RX570 looks like a nice deal.


thing is i want it quiet. can someone tell me which RX 570 has a fanless mode?


like the MSI twinfrozer designs.
so that the fans only run when under high load.
 
You can always setup a fan profile to turn the fans off.


don´t know if that is clever idea for cards not meant to work under fanless conditions.


but when you promise to pay for a replacement i will try that with some of my renderslave cards. :D



personally i would prefer to have a card that works that way just from GPU firmware.

Most models will 0db fan modes will mention the feature on the card's webpage on the manufacturer's website.

I'm pretty sure the Sapphire RX 570 Pulse 4GB has a 0db fan mode.

There's literally nothing wrong with turning fans off. The card won't magically overheat. Modern coolers are more than capable of cooling a card at idle with no airflow, meant to or not. Besides that, a fan profile is setup specifically so it will turn on if it gets hot. Not sure how that is difficult to get, turn the fans off. It gets hot. Turn them on. Firmware not needed.
 
Not all GPUs will let you turn the fans off though, particularly many 2-pin/3-pin wired models that can't run below 35-40%, partly because the ramp up to their minimum speeds from off would probably be louder and more annoying than leaving them off and you have a big jump when you do but some controllers just aren't designed with it in mind.
 
Most fans in the past half-decade use 4-pin. They use PWM. He'll be fine with a RX570. I had a 470 at one point, used 4-pin as well. They are all pretty much reference design. On top of that the card he mentioned supports it. It's one of it's features.

Just looked at 6 RX570s. All support 0db mode. Just to please you folk...
