Nvidia Titan X (Pascal) 12GB Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 21c – 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 Rise Of The Tomb Raider for 90 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 10 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The Nvidia cards operate on a principle of hitting a maximum temperature which is preset. We recorded 84c under load when playing games and running the synthetic benchmark FurMark.

We install the graphics card into the system and measure temperatures on the back of the PCB with our Fluke Visual IR Thermometer/Infrared Thermal Camera. This is a real world running environment playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider for extended periods of time.

Under extended load we measured temperatures between 65c and 70c in various parts of the card. The backplate helps to remove any problems with hotspots in specific parts of the PCB.
