The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 25c – 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 cooler proves to be very capable, thanks to the redesigned structure and rear panel air flow system, forcing more heat outside the chassis. Under FurMark load, the fan spins to just over 2,000 rpm, dropping to around 1,750 rpm when gaming.
Another great card. really enjoying my 5830 xtreme.
Thanks, looks like another good product. so price will be £220 ish? is that the ballpark? I notice sapphire do a dual fan 6950, but its not overclocked and probably cant be unlocked either.
excellent, I need to get dirt 3 cause i need a new game
2GB is nice. I still play GTA4 and that helps. I like maxing everything
Id like to see if two of these would be as good as a HD6990.
you ever hear of the return key?
Good card, but im holding fire until the end of the year, until the refreshed cards come out.
PC market is dead anyway, nothing happening within it 🙁 games all suck lately
Whats up with the box? did they cut the dual fan cooler out at the last minute?
so many of these cards out now its hard to keep track. I think ill wait until the 7 series before upgrading, my old 4 series still manages to play most of the games on my 17 inch screen. Best waiting for the new mid range boards whenever they are out.
This card seems the ultimate 6000 series bang for buck card, runs cool/silent, low power requirements and can be tweaked to outperform the 6970 by a large margin. I need this card sooner then later please!
