Question about GPU noise

Hi there.

 

Im pretty new to building gaming PC's. So i recently bought all the components and Im expecting them to arrive in 2 days. The GPU is the Zotac RTX 2060 AMP, which i later found out, after my purchase, that it doesnt have the Fan Stop at idle feature. So my question is.. Does that mean I will hear loud noise from the gpu as if i was gaming, when Im just browsing the web? Or does it lower the fan speed automatically when im not gaming? Because I'd prefer a not so loud gpu when Im not gaming. This bothered me and I was considering returning the GPU and buying the Gigabyte one instead (Which has fan stop). But Im not sure, and wanted to hear what you have to say about it.

 

Thanks in advance :)

the temperature to fan speed curve still works, it's just not as quiet (in theory) as those that can completely stop their fans. In reality it still depends on how high the minimum speed. 50% minimum is audible, 10% isnt.

You wont hear noise when not gaming, the fans SLOW down they just don't STOP. No need for software.
