ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua Edition graphics card
Things get interesting once you switch to the "quiet" BIOS. Now the card runs at an unbelievable 23.6 dBA, under full load, while pushing out more than 60 FPS at 4K. It's not easy to imagine how quiet that is. I'm testing in a quiet neighborhood with all other computers shut off and no running fans or AC—dead quiet—and the card is still almost inaudible. Basically, you have to stand next to the system on an open bench and concentrate on the card to somewhat discern its noise. As soon as you start moving, your clothes will make enough noise to overpower what little sound the card puts out—absolutely incredible! Even at those noise levels the temperatures are still good, reaching 71°C. As expected from all modern graphics card, the fans will stop completely in idle, desktop work, video playback and light gaming.
