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.
The cooler copes reasonably well, although it does have to deal with quite a lot of heat from the PCB.
We install the graphics card into our system and measure temperatures on the back of the PCB with our Fluke Visual IR Thermometer/Infrared Thermal Camera. This is a real world running environment.
Details shown below.
The rear of the card heats up in one area quite a bit, hitting almost 87c under full load. This is hot, although not critical. There is no doubt that a backplate would help spread this heat out better over the length of the card.

Nice picture at the end. Fury X review coming soon?
In Metro Last Light Redux already has reduced tessellation used because Normal tessellation instead of very high?

980Ti Gaming , dominating without the FuryX in the scene , waiting your review for the FuryX. lets see where that 980Ti will be in these leaderboards.
would’ve been nice to have a 970 in the charts
Is there any chance of someone being able to give me a rough idea of how this performs in applications like Premiere? I’m undecided on a new graphics card for both gaming and production in Premiere. I’ve heard AMD cards have caught up with NV’s CUDA and I will notice no difference when scrubbing through a timeline with effects on.. is it true? I can’t find any factual information on this, especially regarding graphics cards from the past year or so.

Our GTX970 sample died last week, and while another is now with us, due to tight time constraints it did not make this particular review. We are reviewing the new Sapphire R9 290 Nitro very soon and those results will make it into that review.
The 970 GTX is a direct competitor to this product and therefore very relevant to this review
Actually the direct competitor to the 970 is the 390, not the 390X (but I get your point). If you still wanna know how they compare, you should check out JayzTwoCents’ video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9cKZiJw6Pk
