Hey there.
I've been on High Sierra for a while with a silent passive 1050ti. I use my machine for recording audio mostly, and i need the machine to be as near silent as possible. It works really well at the moment and has done for years but I'm starting to use FCPX a lot more, and would like to upgrade to something like a RX590? It seems this would be a big improvement for FCPX performance.
Does anyone know of any brands of card that have guaranteed silent fans when load is under a certain percentage? I run with 3x monitors at the moment, 2x24 inch widescreens, and a 32 inch ultrawide (only 1080p). I normally just edit audio and record. Sometimes screen capture and recording at the same time. Idle, my machine sits at 30 degrees C currently, and under heavy load of CPU sits around 60-70.
Ideally I'd like the card's fans to be silent unless I start doing something GPU-heavy like FCPX. I don't mind tinkering to get it done but would like to know of some previous wins in this regard. Would also happily upgrade to Mojave to get it done, as it's only the nVidia card holding be back at the moment.
Does such a card exist?
