Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC 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.
Due to the dual fan design cooler we find a low 31 degrees being pumped out at idle. When we loaded the card, we were surprised to get a fantastically low 63 degrees, which is fantastic for a card of this nature, especially one that is overclocked as standard.
