This cards party trick definitely comes in the form of efficiency. Not only is the card cheap, but it’s noticeably affordable to run. 122.6 Watts power is staggeringly low, given this bench is running an i9-9900K CPU. Compare that to the slightly faster RX570, which at 312 Watts may as well be powered by coal compared to the rather green GTX 1650.
The Phoenix ran quite a bit warmer than the Gaming OC. However, Gigabyte have a huge dual-fan cooler configuration vs the Phoenix which has a dinky little blower fan. Sure, it’s still enough, 68.7c is fine, but it’s clear the difference a big cooler makes.
Despite being a tiny cooler, it doesn’t run the fan that hard really. It trades off the slightly higher temperatures for low noise. 37.9 dBa is fantastically low, and also much quieter than we expected.
