Gigabyte GTX 660Ti Overclock 2GB 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.
Its all and well having a new cooler design as we have seen from many cards in the past, but the proof is always in the numbers. At idle levels, the new patent pending cooler design does very well to keep the core at 32 celcius, however things do start to get a little warm on the other end of the scale with high temps of 72 degrees recorded during testing.
