The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 25c – 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 pretty good, for a reference solution anyway. The card hovers around 80c when playing games, and this rises to 88c when loaded with the synthetic Furmark test. We look forward to (not) hearing some third party cooling solutions in the coming months from Sapphire, XFX and other AMD partners.

Well after bulldozer they needed to do something, this is it.
but its not a direct replacement for 6970, its a completely new price category, more than GTX580. 6970 was much cheaper.

hey, I wonder how nvidia will respond to this, thats an insanely powerful card. Only concern for me is the price. Ive seen the 6990 on sale for £499.

Very nice, but im more interested in the 7950, and the pricing. this is just too expensive IMO.

Good performance, and nice to see them improving the cooler a little. the HD6990 cooler is insanely loud. I am surprised that it doesn’t cost around £399 inc vat as AMD have always been competitive on pricing. t his seems over the odds IMO.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 a little disappointing. I hope the HD 7970 uses ultra-fast memory such as Rambus XDR2 and able to achieve perfect HQV score of 120. The use of PCI Express 3.0 by the HD 7970 also does not provide significant improvement.
