Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1060 9Gbps Graphics Card Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing


Acoustic Performance

With a ZERO RPM fan mode, this card is completely silent until it’s under heavy load and temperatures increase. However, with three fans, they can spin slow and quiet, allowing the card to top out at just 42 dBa.

Thermal Performance

That huge cooler also means it’s one of the cooler cards we’ve tested, with the GPU core maxing out at just 62c. This is a very impressive score for a card that’s so quiet.

Power Usage

While it runs cooler and quiet than most of the AMD offerings, Nvidia also has the benefit of improved efficiency over the RX series cards. The AORUS card clocked just 238.8w at full load.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
