AMD Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT in review – The Raytracing-free coffin nail from Vega and up to 2.1 GHz clock under water

There is no fan stop, the fans always rotate, even in the idle. But with a good 600 rpm, it doesn't happen extremely loudly yet. The sound-kirmes only starts when you put a lot of load on the GPU. By the way, the fan of the RX 5700 becomes quieter again after almost 4 minutes and one remembers some what is confusing "fuzzy logic" of the Vega cards. With the RX 5700 XT, the fans then turn on. The ascent has nothing in common with a soft curve, but rather a rather steep flank.

In the stress test, by the way, we see that both "curves" now look the same and are also almost identical on top of each other. Despite different wattage in power consumption. This, in turn, is somewhat illogical and therefore also incomprehensible, because the coolers are absolutely identical.

Let us consider the measured values again in the direct comparison of both maps as a tabular listing:

  AMD Radeon RX 5700 AMD Radeon RX 5700
Fan speeds Maximum 2117 rpm (Gaming Peak, Torture) 2121 rpm (Gaming Peak, Torture)
Fan speeds Average 1846 rpm (warmed up) 2118 rpm (warmed up)
Noise Emission (Air) Average 47.2.0 dB(A) 50.5 dB(A)
Noise Emission (Air) Idle 31.8 dB(A) 31.9 dB(A)
Sound characteristic / hearing impression rather noisy, lower-frequency shares rather noisy, lower-frequency shares
Coil-feathers/electric noises low, only for very high FPS numbers and for load changes low, only for very high FPS numbers and for load changes

 

Sound Spectrum

The measured 47.2 dB(A) for the Radeon RX 5700 and the 50.5 db(A) for the Radeon RX 5700 XT are based on the measured approx. 1840 or 2100 rpm in the housing after the heating phase. I applied the same gaming load to the open set-up in the measuring room, but the fans were set to approx. 1850 or 2100 rpm to be able to adjust this value exactly. The result of the RX 5700 is not really bounceable, because about 47 dB(A) is simply too loud.

With the Radeon RX 5700 XT, this is all even more extreme and the 50 dB(A) create a real hairdryer feeling. Susi freshly blow-dryed, with the hair behind the PC and looking for earplugs.

The soundscape is brutal, unfortunately. Especially since measurable low frequencies in the range of approx. 32.7 Hz, which by the way also spread beautifully on the housing (body sound). If you look at the peaks of both frequency spectra, then Good night prefer slumber. This is not only a little noisy, but simply propellers to god-mercenary.
