Graphics Card Temperatures
So here we'll have a look at GPU temperatures. First up, IDLE (desktop) temperatures.
Overall anything below 50 Degrees C is considered okay, anything below 40 Degrees C is very nice and below 30 Degrees C - CEWL. 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 peak (not average) GPU temperature.
- MSI R9 390X Gaming OC - The temperature under heavy game stress for the card stabilized at roughly 76 Degrees C. We measure the hottest reached temperature.
