AMD Radeon 6570 512MB Graphics Card Review

AcousticsNoise is generally the bain of most consumers lives and in the hope of finding the quietest operation, we feel it’s necessary to show you the audio level of components. We use the same components throughout this test and use a sound level meter to record the audio level of the system with a passive graphics card installed. Once we have the level recorded with the passive card, we continue to change the graphics card for the one that we are testing. Due to us having the audio level recorded before installation, it gives us a guide to work with and shows that anything over our initial level is an audio gain.

The fan on the 6570 is annoyingly small and this generally means a noisy whine will come from it, but it’s not too bad on this card, and idle and load levels weren’t too different and no whine was heard from any distance.
