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 reference 7900 GRE is very quiet, too, with its three fans spinning at just 42%/1125rpm in my testing, resulting in a noise reading of just 34dBa.
