Just what is your point exactly? Are you arguing that since the RX 570 outputs more heat, the fans on it will always spin up faster than the GTX 1060 3GB and hence will be louder?
There is zero evidence for this to be always true, meaning that picking a GTX 1060 3GB and RX 570 4GB at random does not guarantee that the former will be quieter just because it outputs less heat.
I have not ever claimed that. I've just argued against "power use does not create noise" and "power use does not matter."
My point exactly is that power becomes heat, over time and above passive limits heat must be cooled, and that cooling is not silent. Power = heat = noise.
That means if you care about minimizing noise you should care about power efficiency.
You can use larger fans and bigger heatsinks to reduce noise, but the minimum noise level with the best possible cooling design will become higher as power use increases.
So a CPU that uses 150 watts to do the work another CPU does with 95 is less quiet, given the same overall thermal solution for the PC.
So a GPU that uses 200 watts to do the work that another GPU does with 170 is less quiet, given the same overall thermal solution for the PC.
You do have to look at the whole PC. A GPU design that runs quietly by heating up the CPU and letting the case fans remove the heat means those fans must run louder to maintain a given temperature.
People claiming "the card runs quiet" miss the point that with a more power efficient design the same card would run closer to silent with the same load.
Anyway, I seem to have derailed the green vs. red battle over frames per second. A little extra noise doesn't bother many people.
