GTX 1060 FE Subjective Noise Comparison with RX 480, 1070 FE, & Gaming X [Video]

Posted on July 20, 2016

This content is basically just a video, since we can't very well convey noise through words. Except maybe by YELLING with CAPS. We produced a similar type of video for the RX 480, basically comparing fan noise levels by recording them (using the same level of input each time on an X/Y H6N mic), then playing them back. Fans were tested at idle, 50%, and 100% for this comparison. The GTX 1060, RX 480, GTX 1070, and MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X are included in this video.

For full GTX 1060 coverage, check our GTX 1060 review & benchmark or catch up on the RX 480 here. In the meantime, the fan RPM noise comparison is embedded below:

And for regulars of the content, note that we've got a GTX 1060 Hybrid video coming up shortly.
