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 Sapphire HD7790 OC runs nice and cool, peaking at around 53c when gaming in our environment. Under the synthetic stress test, this increases to 58c, still fantastic results. The dual fan cooler is handling the core temperature without a problem. This would lead to long term reliability.

Good looking card from Sapphire, not so sure of the range however, pricing looks off.
HD7850 is the best of the bunch, they used to £180, now you can get one for under £130.
Good review. looks like a good buy if they replaced the HD7770 with this one at the same £100 price. Can’t see this card online, interested to see how much of a premium the OC and cooler will cause.
I like the intro and conclusion, very true points on pricing. And this audience are all about price. some reviews just overlook it completely.
Do you know Scan have the XFX HD7850 for £127 today !
Unless AMD force up the price of the HD7850 to sell HD7790 this wont work. people will get pissed too. HD7850 at under £140 rocks.
