Sapphire HD 6970 2GB Dual Fan Video Card Overclocked Review

Sound Tests

Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.

After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).

Noise levels are also down compared to the reference card. Again it's worth remembering that we're overclocked here while the reference card of course carries with it the stock clocks.
