AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB Graphics Card Review
Temperatures
The cooling solution which graphics card vendors use is one of the main differences that consumers have to contend with. Apart from their acoustic properties, the thermal properties of graphics card coolers are extremely important. Lower temperatures are always better and with AMD and Nvidia opting to use dynamic overclocking algorithms that take temperature into account it is important that graphics card vendors use high performance cooling solutions in order to maximise performance. The era of graphics cards reaching dangerous temperatures are now in the past but the importance of lower temperatures still remains. Lower temperatures mean better stability, longer component longevity and lower fan speeds. That said temperatures are one of the most important non-performance related properties on a graphics card.

Sites that review any of these cards give a lead to the GTX650Ti Boost, in most instances it has to do with the high end Enthusiast gaming machine (ie some OC i7, 16Gb, and SSD). When isn what most folk who buy this level of hardware install in, a pedestrian box with (i3/FX-4300) the ability to garner high or ultra-settings at 1080p and playable FPS don’t translate into the staggering wins most reviews show for the GTX650Ti Boost.
