My current Gigabyte GPU is the opposite. There's something bugged with the fan curve which makes it rev very aggressively once it tips the 50 C threshold. It's the biggest source of noise in the computer by far. Haven't been able to solve it either with custom fan curves or a full teardown and repaste of the gpu.

Read even more about the card now: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/ASUS/RTX3070-8G-NOCTUA/
And if the card is < 50'c then the fans are off... with a progressive stepping in fan speed as the heat climbs.
Had a card like that a long while ago and it is bliss... total silence when you're in work mode or light gaming, and only relatively low noise when you're in a medium intensive game, and audible only when you're doing something insane (which very few games do as the cards are typically way ahead of the demands most games have).
I have no reason to buy it, but damn it is nice.
