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 2 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.
Sapphire's cooler handles the HD7770 with ease, peaking below 60c when gaming.
Another good card from Sapphire. nice n quiet too.
Good value for money, not really a gaming card, but good for a workstation IMO
