VTX3D HD7870 Black Review (Tahiti LE)

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell December 12, 2012 Featured Tech Reviews, Graphics

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 cooler performance is very good, peaking at 67c when gaming, and 74c under the Furmark stress test.

    looks like a good card, I like the cooler design, its very neat. not like some of those HIS monsters which take up 1/3 extra space.

    all the free games with it is cool too.

    Will this be available in the US soon and if yes, at what price can we expect this to launch at? I’m very interested in it.

    Powercolor has this card now, it’s the mystery edition 7870pcs+. I’m wondering if any full cover waterblock would fit these cards?
