AMD Radeon HD 7770 XT 1GB 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.

Thanks again to the ZeroCore technology, the cards smaller heatsink is more than sufficient enough to keep the card cool at idle, however with all the space that is spare under the cover perhaps a slightly larger heatsink could have been installed to keep the temperatures down a little more under load.
