Question Are all PowerColor cards this utterly terrible?

[POTTU98]

I bought my PowerColor RX 580 a little over a year ago, it has been extremely loud since day 1. I bought this brand new but the temperatures are still at toasty 70c while gaming, all the while being a bit undervolted and underclocked.

To add in salt to the injury, not only do the fans ramp up, they are also so utterly awful that they are incredibly loud at lower RPMs. Oh and the sad part? My Founders Edition GTX 1070 that i bought to replace in my main system with it's old paste and everything is significantly quieter than the 580, even at full blast (the 580 is louder at 40% fan speed).

Oh and the best part of all, the 580 is in the HAF 912+, a case with 200mm Intake, 200mm exhaust and a 120 exhaust, all of whom are at max rpm.

If the other PowerColor cards are anything like this, avoid them like the plague. especially if you are looking for a 400-500 series card.

Edit: The fans have started rattling... why must this cooler be this utterly awful?

Oh i thought that the GTS 250 was a mid range-ish card like the 1060

It only has a single GB of VRam/
In a direct comparison the 1060 it way better, but in a comparison of their respective era, Id say the 1060 was still a little better in comparison to the other current cards at that time.

The 1060 has much more ram.
But if comparing their rankings when they were each released the 1060 is still a higher ranked card, but not by as much

It was likely mid-ish when it originally came out as was the 1060. The 250 was released years before the 1060 came out. The 1060 is miles ahead of the GTS 250 head to head.

Obviously the 1060 is alot better card, but as you said on your second to last message, the 250 GTS was propably a bit lower compared to it's peers than the 1060 was.
