AMD Navi Discussion

Embargo lifts tomorrow. Some leaked benchmarks look good. AMD heavily rumoured to discount the GPUs at launch, putting them at direct competition with the 2060S and 2070S, at which it seems to peg or better them. Competition is great for consumers. :D

I see GPU pricing has settled a bit now, even seeing discounts, not at MSRP but probably about as good as can be expected given the silly prices these days.
Cant make my mind up weather to go for the Sapphire Nitro+ or Pulse 9070 XT. Not much in it price wise, main concern os quietness. Id rather have a quieter card over a couple of percent better performance but noisy. The Pulse seems to do well in this respect.

Whichever is cheaper, I had a Nitro+ but returned it cause if had awful coil whine but the fans were very quiet if you got one without coil whine it would be almost silent

Pulse or Pure.
I wouldn't use the 12VHPWR connector of the Nitro+.
Too much potential for damage.
Also my Pure is silent AF
