Graphics Card Temperatures
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.
- Radeon R9 295x2- The temperature under heavy game stress for the card stabilized at roughly 68 Degrees C. We list the highest temperature measured on either of the GPUs. We do have to note that you'll be very dependant on your PC system ambient temperature due to liquid cooling.
You will also notice that long term stressing does not result into down-clocking anymore. The dips in the chart are scene changes BTW. Please make sure your PC is well ventilated at all times, this will seriously help you on the overall GPU temperatures.
