Which 2080 Super to buy? which brand? what is the quieter one?

[Windows95]

I like my fps but I hate noise as I do music too. So which is the best one when it comes to being quiet? basically in idle, when I do gaming i use headphones so i dont care that much

 

Please help, I need one ideally to be sold in this shoop: https://www.pccomponentes.com/tarjetas-graficas/gf-2080-series

im going nuts, too many 2080 super models

help me picking up one from here im going insane

 

which has the quietest idle noise? I NEED IT TO BE QUIET FOR WHEN I MAKE MUSIC

[MrBrightSyde]

Looking at prices and the models, the Gigabyte Gaming OC (White or Black, whichever you decide) would be the best bet.

Also do all modern GPUs have this technology of reverting the fans at boot so they clean itselves? I found this cool about my old (and currrent) GPU. Its this one:

I don't think they do that anymore.

Also, quit posting when no one replies. It gets annoying. It may take an hour or 2 for people to comment on a post since most people have lives.

Not according to this:

compared to asus:

And im worried those long ass triple fan cards dont fit on my define r4 case

 

might cop the asus one, at 29 seems unbeatable

[MrBrightSyde]

2 dB? You're worried about literally 2 dB. There is little difference at all and you wouldn't be able to tell.  It seems like you made up your mind however even though you said you were going insane. Also, the Gaming OC has better temperatures, which is why I chose it in the first place.

 

Edit: to add on, you should've told us your case in the first place. And yes, it should be able to fit your case, possibly have to remove some of the drive bays

I'm using a Asus Dual RTX 2060 Super Evo OC. It looks about the same as the 2080 Super version in size and outer visible parts. For the 2060 version by default the fans spin to 30% when the GPU is 55C so it's fairly quiet. I believe the 2080 version is setup the same but may run a little hotter on load. Tweak II software for the card can adjust fan curves for the 2 fans separately and have a profile setup after the windows start up if you really want to customize things to be more quiet through software.

 

There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the RGB strip or change the color.

I'd suggest going with a GPU from MSI as they are really good, and have a zero frozr mode which in short means that the fans does not spin under 60* celsius only above 60*

which means it would be nice in your case

how safe is that? fan not spinning? ehh, doesnt sound like a realiable thing long term

The heatsinks are more than big enough to dissipate heat passively during low usage, and fans not spinning would be better long term, as often the fans are the first thing to fail.

I believe ever since Nvidia 9xx series and AMD 3XX it have become quite common to let the cards passive under certain temperatures targets, for example both Asus and GB cards that you posted seems to turn off the fans at idle(not sure why the Guru3d shows the GB card making noise at idle, other reviews say it was off during idle/low usage), the Asus low noise at idle is due the fans not turning on at all, 29db is the room noise level.

So should I buy this one?

https://www.pccomponentes.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2080-super-gaming-oc-8gb-gddr6

do they have options to set speed fan configurations? what would be the sane settings to use?

It seems like the GB is the best that is available for that price, so yeah.

You shouldn't need to adjust anything, but you probably can just use Afterburner if you need to change something.

Settings are dependent on what you want, as long you don't let it over the safe temperatures it will be fine.

MSI Afterburner is great for setting up custom fan curves with Nvidea cards so feel free to tweak it for your own needs.  On that card the memory is massively under-clocked from the factory so if you want free performance bump it up a bit to say +1200-1350, it may run hotter like this (only in games etc tho) but so long as you keep fans queit at idle and only ramp up when gaming (set it to ramp up fans at say 55-60C) shouldn't ever be a bother while mixing music etc
 

and yeah like others said 0% fans isn't a issue, if you are just browsing internet, using none GPU intensive software the thermal mass of the heatsinks will keep it well well below any temps to worry about, it simply doesn't spin the fans because it doesn't need to, it wouldn't be a feature companies used if not for that, companies like Gigabyte aren't in the business of dealing with thousands of RMA'd cards.

The aus rog strix series have always been one of the best. Has silent rpm mode and dual bios. RGB and good cooling

stock, I pushed my poor 970 to the limit and that card wasn't quite.

if you really want quite go water cooled.

 

If you aren't trying to play 4K 60 or 1440p 144 I'd drop down to a lower end GPU

[Shawn Chrissy Hanzal]

I’m with you, I plan on water cooling so I’m more interested in performance than noise. I’m trying to figure out which has better performance between the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2080 Super Triple-Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe Video Card or the EVGA Black Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Super Dual-Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe Video Card. Anyone know of a place which has direct comparison benchmarks?

im just confused at this:

shouldn't db at idle be 0? no cards show 0 db on those tests

[Otto_iii]

fairly sure 0db is what you would hear if you could go to outer-space without a helmet, you probably have never heard less then about 5-10db in your life.  Typical quiet bedroom is like 30db, most office buildings and libraries are about 40db, i found other tests with same results and one has to conclude the noise floor for some of these buildings might be the actual factor.  The one thing you could look out for with any 0RPM card is if people report the card has "coil whine", otherwise its more likely your PCs case fans will make far more sound, you should be fine so long as Coil Wine isn't a issue.

Whatever GPU has an AIO will give you some of the quietest results. I got myself a 980Ti Hybrid and has barely made a peep in the years I've owned it.

so you are saying the gpu werent measured in a vacuum so what was measured was the nosie of other things but the gigabyte was actually 0db cause no fans turning on idle? thats what i understand
