VTX3D HD7990 Review (w/ GTX690 & 6GB HD7970 Toxic CF)

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 VTX3D HD7990 cooler is actually very capable, maintaining temperatures under 70c when gaming. The Sapphire HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition cards run hotter in CrossfireX as they are closely situated in the slots.
