Asus Radeon HD 7770 DirectCU TOP 1GB Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 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.
With a quiet, low-powered card, we were keen to see how good the temperatures were and once again we saw some good results with an idle temperature of 31 degrees and a maximum load of 68. While the Sapphire FleX card did perform better in terms of temperatures, they are still a big improvement over a reference stock AMD card.
