4: 55 could we perhaps get the fan RPM or fan curve percentage listed for those 40dba on each card? I would like to verify these thermals on my hardware but since I don't have a acoustic meter or a controlled environment I cant easily recreate the scenarios described here to test thermals dba but could do so to fan speed. I think my card might have an air bubble as the Tjunction is almost 30'c higher than gpu edge so while everything else on the card is reading cool the fans are screaming to keep from throttling on even a mild overclock pwr+6%

I personally think the oems and also amd need to recheck their voltages and lower it a little bit to still compete against a nvidia price/performance rate. And also grabbing so much more more wattages back to a lower point. That last squeezing out AMD and OEMS do is to much of a hit on the voltages and heat and wattages to keep these stable from fabric settings imo. So if they did lower that they would also create more overclock headroom for those who do wanna go that way like myself. Amd is doing so well past 4 years im so happy.

Is the over ramping of the fans at the start to mitigate thermal 'runaway'? It's nice to see that performance is relatively the same so that it comes down to noise, price and appearance. Still don't understand why they don't sell pre assembled water block GPUs. They could put a sensor within the potential loop to throttle the GPU if no solution is in the loop - i. e. some dummy doesn't put a radiator and cooling loop on it.

Planned on getting the Pulse 5700 based on the 5700XT review, or maybe the ASRock Challenger card if it got stocked at Microcenter sooner. Both have been out of stock for 2-3 weeks. Saw a single Pulse today at Microcenter and snapped it up. Based on this review, I don't think I'll regret it. Now I just need to make up my mind on a CPU. I want the 3700X, but the prices on the 2700X is really tempting.

Anyone here experiencing crashes during some games like assassins creed odyssey dlc (i have AMD sapphire RX 5700XT this is my second card btw due to the first one had issues) and tbh im getting fedup with these issues that looks like AMD is ignoring problems that exists! not to mention wattman settings are at best mediocre when idle pc blue screen crash.

A noise comparison at stock (and, possibly, silent profile) would, while less scientific than your preferences, be immensely useful. Yes, I can compare the two reviews, particularly the fan-frequencies, and extrapolate relative noise level from that. However, that doesn't tell me much about how it compares, noise-wise, with my current video card.

Wish you review the MSI Gaming 5700 XT model, guess what it has half thermal pads on the top 2 memory modules again, from what i seen on Optimum Tech's video. It is bad that it also has half cover for the top memory modules on their memory modules heat spreader. Too bad that MSI screwed on Radeon 5700 series graphics cards.

dB(C! dB(C! dB(C! CCCCC, do not use A-weighting. A-weighting favours manufacturer's tech sheets, while C-weighting is the loudness people actually perceive. Also, along with the peak value measuring, measure RMS values for less granularity and more overall loudness over time. Heck, even B weighting is more useful than A.

Actually bought the RX 5700 Pulse a few days ago, compared to my RX 580 it was a nice jump up. Price was bad though but that's pretty normal around here. It was 420 Euro. 1 thing though, at times there are horizontal lines for a fraction of a second, hope a complete reinstall of windows will be the fix.

Hey Steve, I can't speak for anyone else, but I would be really interested to see the maximum cooling capacity for each model with the fans set to 100%. I'm late here so I'll probably post this on your next video, and spam this and tater tots in your stream with Joe, see ya there
