Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 Vapor-X OC 1GB 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.
The Vapor-X cooler really comes into play here, with a mighty low 37 degrees at idle, and fairly low 66 degrees on maximum load showing that the cooler on this card really can handle the heat.
