Power Consumption on the Sapphire NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
To test power consumption we will be using the total board power reading from GPU-Z. We first run an idle test on the Windows 11 desktop at 1 hour of inactivity.
Next we 3DMark’s Steel Nomad stress test.
Temperatures on the Sapphire NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
For our temperature testing we run two different tests. The first is idle with our system sitting on the Windows 11 Desktop.
Next we 3DMark’s Steel Nomad stress test.
Noise Levels on the Sapphire NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
Noise level in any system is important, you never want your graphics card sounding like it is a jet engine! We will be using the RisePro sound level meter to measure the noise level of each graphics card. It is placed 6 inches away from the side of the card. We are only running a load test here as all of these card’s fans turn off when idle. The load test is taken using 3DMark’s Steel Nomad stress test.
