AMD Radeon 7870 2GB Graphics Card Review

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.
Being a reference card, we weren’t expecting fantastic results, but the 7870 still performed amazingly, with a low temperature of 39 degrees on idle and 78 degrees in load.
