GPU Temperatures

So here we'll have a look at GPU temperatures. We again fire off an intense game-like application at the graphics cards and measure the highest temperature at one of the GPUs. The GPU with the least airflow will run the most hot of course. 

So with the card fully stressed we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU temperature that got the most hot, the temperature under heavy load stabilized at 83 Degrees C which quite honestly is a little in the high side, yet remains acceptable. PowerColor deliberately takes this for granted to keep noise level at an absolute low.

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