AMD RX 6950 XT, 6750 XT & 6650 XT Review ft. Sapphire

We take our noise measurements with the sound meter positioned 1 foot from the graphics card. I measured the noise floor to be 32 dBA, thus anything above this level can be attributed to the graphics cards. The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

The sheer lack of noise is easily the most impressive thing about these Sapphire cards however. Regardless of which card or BIOS mode was used, the fans were barely audible, and I had to press my ear right up against the cards to double check the fans were even spinning. 32dBa is actually the noise floor in my testing environment too, which goes to show how little noise these cards make, that my sound meter could not distinguish a difference between the fans spinning or sitting idle. It is mightily impressive stuff, especially considering the fact that the temperatures are still very good.
