For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.
In terms of thermal performance, as we would expect, the Spectral White’s OC BIOS does run a bit cooler than AMD's reference card, with the GPU temperature hitting 60C, and the hot spot – also known as the junction temperature – coming in at 79C. The Silent BIOS runs 4C hotter in terms of both the GPU and hot spot metrics, with very similar thermal results to the reference card.
