why is this thing so fucking loud
>reference coolers are loud and inefficient
No fucking way man.
>>61911969
Because it's a reference blower card being compared against aftermarket models on a retarded skewed graph.
You're welcome.

Founders Edition is not a reference design to AMD faggots apparently.
And they're loud because they're pieces of shit. It's a single blower fan trying to cool off 350w of power consumption.
>>61911969
is that 57 decibels? that's louder than a fucking compressor
>>61912026
The FE isn't that much behind the Vega stock blowers. And it's a considerably smaller chip using much less power.
So make out of that what you will. This comparison is useless until proper aftermarket coolers come out.
>>61912024
LOL
>>61911987
>Skewed graph
db is logarithmic and FE is also a reference blower card.
>>61911969
This graph makes no sense, why is it that Vegas have MAX while other cards don't?
>>61912104
Cause with Vega you can overclock them to their maximum power limit while you can't with Nvidia due to GPU boost. So the MAX = power limit 50% which probably has insane power draw.

I like how fucking big they make the bar for a 10 decibel difference, really Activates my Almonds
>>61912087
Shut up faggot apologist.
Your simpering excuses don't change the fact that Vega is a pile of trash.
Raja needs to go. He's a snake oil salesman who lies repeatedly through his teeth, wildly misconstrues benchmarks, and repeatedly tells bald faced lies to the media, the consumers, and the investors.
>>61912154
Fuck off huang
>>61912150
Because decibels work logarithmic. So yes the difference between 10 db to 20 db and 20 db to 30 db isn't the same. It is exponential. Really makes you think because it actually requires thinking.
because it fucking sucks.
AMD didn't have a good GPU architecture on their hands so they just pumped it up as much as possible and then threw in loud as fans a liquid cooler to try and contain all that heat.
>>61912154
Oh, it is a pile of shit for the time and hype they put onto it.
It just doesn't justify making up false shit about it or putting it in unfair comparisons. Wait for aftermarket models, then compare noise levels. They'll still be higher, but within a bearable level, and no one, including you, will give a shit.
Blower models are shit. /thread
>>61912169
We use toilet paper in the west, Raja, not R&D money for failed architectures.
>>61912150
>an extra 10db inside my room is nothing
>>61912199
>Unfair comparisons
Nope. It is compared to the FE.
>False shit
Where?
>>61912220
Explain this faggot
>>61912199
It is what it is, and it's being compared to other reference designs.
AMD put another loud ass blower fan on another hot ass card. When will they ever learn do you think?
>>61912229
Read >>61912182 you moron. Decibels work on log. Which means 10 decibels isn't 2 times louder than 5. It is ^2 louder than 5 decibels.
>>61912229
logarithmic scale u n00b lol
>>61912243
Wow, what a good Cop-out
>>61912258
t.High school drop out
>>61912258
Imagine if you weren't being bent over and fucked this hard, would your anus still look the same?
>>61912263
>>61912271
Sorry just skeptical, I have a 1070, I just don't trust hardware reviewers
>>61912229
because roughly speaking every 3dB is a doubling the acoustic energy
Not necessarily what you hear/perceived but the acoustic energy.
lots of online cals will show you this

>>61912283
Skeptical of what? How basic log scales work? Come on. This is high school shit.
>>61911969
so this is what they meant

AMD = another massive disappointment
