HIS HD7970 Crossfire Review

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.

As this is a reference card, we didn't expect different results after our launch day review. With two cards in the system, the temperatures peak around 88c under Furmark load, although the fans are working slightly harder to compensate for increased ambient temperatures.
