Measuring temperatures is all about being consitent, therefore we keep a steady eye on monitoring the ambient room temperature to make sure that it stays the same. While this is constantly being monitored, we measure the idle temperature of the card using HWMonitor over a 15 minute period. Once this has been recorded, we set FurMark into motion for 15 minutes and record the results again.
Temperature wise, this card simply astounded us with an amazingly low 33 degrees idle and still a remarkable 66 watts load. Sure when we compare against the GTX 680 cards, it’s not the greatest performer in this area, but we all know that AMD cards chuck out more heat so this is amazing in its own right.
