cheers,


EDIT - got my figures way off, must have been thinking about another card. My current sapphire rx 580 nitro+ 4gb is only silent under 40% fan, if I run MADVR at NGU sharp high for both upscale and chroma it taxes my card about 70% GPU.

I've found that if I set me fan curve to to run at 40% fan right up to 80 degrees it remains at a stable 75 degrees whilst running fairly silent, this was with a 4k HDR movie which seems to tax the card much more than upscaling from 480p to 4k for some reason... go figure...
