Asus GTX760 Direct CU Mini and HD7850 Direct CU II V2 Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature.

We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The Asus GTX760 Mini does a good job considering the tiny size, but it does have to work hard to maintain good temperatures. When gaming, the card peaks around 75c. This rises to just over 80c under the synthetic Furmark load.

The Direct CU II cooler on the HD7850 does a great job, holding temperatures at 64c under gaming load.

  1. The 760 mini is lovely – really nice idea, if a little expensive.

  2. The cards are good, but the cooler on the 760 is too small to really be that good for such a high end board – I would rather get a case that can take a full sized GPU, even if it was small, like a prodigy.

  3. Too bad my three month old Asus 7850 DCUII V2 can’t even reach any core clock over 960mhz without crashing while in a game. Touched nothing but the core clock and 5% power addition.

    1000mhz ran fine on tests. rock solid on 3Dmark11 and MSI kompressor though. Could be a driver issue, could be a bad card. Clean install though.

    Still, goes to show that overclocking is not absolutely dependable.
