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 A Plague Tale: Requiem for 30 minutes.

As we've come to expect from a Sapphire Pulse model, it runs very quiet as well. In our testing the fans spun up to just 31%, or about 1260rpm, producing just 34dBa on our sound meter, which is very competitive.
