AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?

There is no fan stop, the fans always turn, even in idle. But nothing extremely noisy happens at 1100 rpm to 1200 rpm. The sound carnival doesn’t start until you put a good load on the GPU. The Radeon Pro’s fan is controlled completely differently than the Radeon RX 5700’s fan, because instead of AMD’s “Fuzzy-Logic” there is again the classic fan curve. With a maximum of 1920 rpm on average, the card is already clearly audible after warming up, but not extremely loud,

With the render loop it hardly looks any different, it doesn’t get much louder. Now it’s up to 1950 rpm with the fan, so only marginally more.

Let us look at the measured values again in a direct comparison of both cards as a tabular list:

Sound Spectre

The measured 44.4 dB(A) in the render loop are clearly below the 47.2 dB(A) for the Radeon RX 5700 and the 50.5 dB(A) for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. This is anything but quiet, but it’s also not an over-motivated hairdryer as we knew it from the previous cards. A water cooling modification is definitely a good idea (spoiler!), as all the water blocks should fit the reference cards of the RX 5700 XT.
