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 XFX HD7850 Black Edition cooler delivers slightly worse results than we would have expected, but we are beginning to wonder if XFX have tweaked the voltage a little to accommodate stability at these high overclock settings. Time to find out.
Another winner from XFX, great clock speeds out of the box as author says.
impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?
I want to see your review of the GTX680, are you not reviewing it Zardon?
Hi Robert, our sample had a hardware problem (fan issue) and we are in the process of reviewing the replacement. Just one of those things.
