Club3D Radeon HD 7790 13Series 1GB Graphics Card Review

Measuring temperatures is all about being consistent 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.
As expected due to the simple cooler design, the temperatures are a bit higher to what we would normally see, not so much when the card is idle, but more under load. Staying at 72 Celsius though is not too drastically bad.
