Inno3D Geforce GTX580 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.

nVidia deserve a lot of credit for reducing the temperatures, generally when gaming we noticed peaks of high 60's which is fantastic. Furmark is not really indicative of a real world situation, but even under those synthetic conditions, the temperature peaked at 76c.
