AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 13 years ago
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 7970 still performed amazingly, with a low temperature of 39 degrees on idle and 78 degrees in load.
