If black PC builds bore you, you’ll be pleased that the selection of white components is growing. Gigabyte has newly added Radeon RX 9060 XT and RX 9070 XT Gaming OC models in an Ice variant. Their core specs and features match the classic Gaming OC models; the less traditional look combines a white shroud with grey and silver accents. And since they rank among the most affordable models, they’re among the best-value white cards.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—F1 24
The next tests are from the F1 24 benchmark at 3840 × 2160 resolution with Ultra settings. This involves a benchmark with five laps on the Singapore map in wet conditions. Unlike other benchmarks, this is a sustained load; there is no drop in load between test cycles, and the card remains warmed up the entire time.
Clock speeds dropped by about 60 MHz compared to Cyberpunk. The warmed-up card maintains a clock speed between 2808 and 2940 MHz during the measured segment, averaging 2876 MHz.
The power draw according to monitoring (light green) holds almost perfectly at the power limit of 181.6 W. The total average PC power draw is 291.4 W.
The average temperature of the warmed-up chip reaches a maximum of 62 °C according to monitoring, with the memory reaching 86 °C. The hotspot temperature is 84 °C.
Peak fan speeds exceeded 2100 RPM. Despite this, the noise level is lower than that of average cards because the small, slender fans don’t achieve as high an airflow at similar RPMs as the larger fans found on most coolers today.
