    It is not the drivers that dictate the fan but the GPU bios. So how the card behaves depends on how the manufacturer tuned it which is to say, these days it’ll work fine. Many “high end” cards usually have a bios switch for silent or turbo mode so whatever.

    Back when I had a 1080ti, I used afterburner to set my own fan curve. And now with my rx6900xt I use AMD’s adrenaline because it actually works great for many things including setting a custom fan curve . I’ve heard Nvidia’s first party software was a bit of a mess for oc stuff so that’s why Afterburner became so popular but I never installed anything past Nvidia’s drivers so maybe it’s good now, who knows.
