The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – 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.

    Agreed…nearly £500 for a GPU and it doesn’t have a backplate…ridiculous.

    They would lose a sale from me because of it, same for their 970 as well with no backplate.

    Your penny pinching will be costing you sales MSI.
