Gigabyte has added new Radeon models to its lineup. That’s good news for anyone tired of all-black components. Alongside the budget-friendly Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC and RX 9070 XT Gaming OC, the company is introducing “Ice” variants that pair a white shroud with gray and silver accents. As long as pricing doesn’t stray far from the standard black versions, they should rank among the best-value white cards on the market.
Cyberpunk 2077, RT Medium, 3840 × 2160 (Silent)
The first set of results comes from the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark with the RT Medium setting at a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels. It includes eight consecutive benchmark runs. The graph always shows the final run, from which the average value for the warmed-up card is calculated.
In Silent mode, the card is only marginally slower.
Once thermally stabilized, the GPU core clock ranges from 2,700 to 2,848 MHz, averaging 2,756 MHz. The ~4 MHz drop from the higher temperatures is negligible.
The card stays at the 330 W power limit again. The PC’s average power draw is 476.1 W—within normal measurement error compared to 474.9 W in Performance mode.
The average temperatures of both the GPU and memory are only slightly higher, with the GPU peaking at 72 °C and the memory at 98 °C. The hotspot reached 92 °C—a minor difference as well.
Unfortunately, the fan speeds aren’t much lower, and neither is the card’s noise level. At peak, the fans reached 1,770 rpm. However, if you reduce the power limit, there’s still some room to lower the fan speed further.
