i was looking at hellhound vs taichi because white pcb and 2 8 pin plugs but reddit is basically littered with people complaining about coil whine on the hellhound both black and white. Even kitguru complained about it. so if thats something u care about i would probably pass
FWIW, my Asrock 7900XT PG only whines at >200 FPS, which I consider an excellent result as almost every card whines at excessive FPS. But YMMV, its always hard to tell if this is partner specific, model specific or just fabrication differences for each unit.
Gotta say though, XTX is looking pretty good in those overall charts and so does the general positioning in RT, imho. What struck me most of all is how RDNA3 excels at higher resolutions, and how it edges closer to the 4090 not in just raster, but also in RT performance. If you factor in the gap in transistor count that is an extremely impressive result. It gives us a window on the future of RDNA, and it looks very bright indeed, especially considering it is chiplet based. 57.7 billion and just an 18% gap to 4090 is incredible, especially if you consider the 'expensive GCD' is just 300mm2. The reason this pops out to me now, is because we're now seeing what happens if AMD had allowed XTX a stock TDP closer to what the 4090 has. There is quite some headroom.
There is a LOT of strange stuff going on as you move up in resolutions with RT enabled, especially in the Nvidia camp. Sometimes 4K and 1440p show the same FPS % loss, other times it keeps growing as you move up in resolutions, which seems to be the norm for Nvidia with RT, while RDNA3 barely seems to lose more relative % FPS as you move from 1440p to 4K. And there are a few titles where RDNA3 just chokes completely with a loss of 60%. One thing I could distill here from the charts and how the XTX and the 4080 swap spots everywhere, is that the additional bandwidth definitely already shows the XTX can get wings as time progresses and games push heavier on VRAM. Forget capacity... bandwidth is key here. The 4070ti confirms that with its measly 500GB/s and resulting 4K numbers, often underperforming already today, especially in games where averages are sub 100 FPS (where it matters most).
Quiet means lower fans speed, nothing to do with clock speeds. I mean you can just open a dictionary.
Or
you can just use context of the topic at hand instead
The question before this was why the junction/hot spot temp was lower on a quiet bios
with lower fan speed.
