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 loading Furmark and measuring the peak temperature.
The card runs very cool and generally when gaming it hovers around 49c. Furmark pushes the hardware further, and we recorded a maximum of 54c which is still a great result. This hardware is clearly designed to run in less than ideal environmental conditions, such as inside a confined, hot running server chassis.
Thats a great idea, it should help people out with even AGP systems! bit expensive, but im sure the manufacturing costs are higher. its put me in the mood now to build a media center with the cheaper version of the card
Power consumption figures are staggering. its the GTX580 but the complete opposite !
Nice little board, id probably opt for something with a little more guts though, like hte passive HD5670 from sapphire.
Excellent, video support is always strong on these boards, ideal for a low powered media center
I ordered the 42 quid version on OCUK for my media center was looking for something like this and the IQ is great.
