Graphics Card Temperatures

So here we'll have a look at GPU temperatures. First up, IDLE (desktop) temperatures as reported through software on the thermal sensors of the GPU. IDLE temperatures first, overall anything below 50 Degrees C is considered okay, anything below 40 Degrees C is nice. We threw in some cards at random that we have recently tested in the above chart. But what happens when we are gaming? We fire off an intense game-like application at the graphics card and measure the highest temperature of the GPU.

So with the cards fully stressed we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU temperature as reported by the thermal sensor.

The card's temperature under heavy game stress stabilized at roughly 72 Degrees C. We note down the hottest GPU reading, not the average.

These tests have been performed with a 20~21 Degrees C room temperature. Bear in mind that a lot of the time during gaming our temps sit at just below 70 Degrees C, this is a peak temperature based on a FireStrike loop. For those that like to check RPM tachometer & limiter behaviour please check the graph below.
