MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II OC review - Graphics card temperatures

GPU Temperatures

So here we'll have a look at GPU temperatures. First up, IDLE (desktop) temperatures.

IDLE temperatures are always a tiny bit tricky to read out as Windows Aero could have an affect on them. Overall anything below 50 Degrees C is considered okay, anything below 40 Degrees C is very nice. We threw in some cards at random that we recently have tested in the above chart.

But what happens when we are gaming? We fire off an intense game-like application at the graphics cards and measure the highest temperature at the GPU.

So with the card fully stressed we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the highest GPU temperature.

  • The temperature, under heavy game stress, for the R6950 stabilized at roughly 60 Degrees C which quite honestly is fine and remains acceptable. Depending on ambient temperature this might differ a little here and there.

With today's graphics cards, please make sure your PC is well ventilated at all times, this will seriously help you on the overall GPU temperatures.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition OC review
MSI does what it does best, customizing hardware. They took the R6950 GPU, and threw the rest away. They designed a new PCB loaded with features and overclock potential, slapped some really cool memory on the card and topped off that GPU with the all new Twin Frozr III cooler. We take this card over a full GHz today on the graphics core, and that says a lot about the sturdy design alright.

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II OC review
A new review on the Radeon HD 6950. MSI went back to the drawing board and redesigned the PCB, armed it with quality components and decided that they would need to slap a nice cooler on there. As such we see the model as tested today, running slightly above reference specification yet with the latest twin Frozr II cooler mounted on top of it.
