PowerColor HD6970 Devil 13 2GB 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.

Under Furmark load, the card peaks at 83C, around 8c higher than when gaming. Idle temperatures are very impressive … 36c.

The fan profile is not aggressive at all, moving between 20% (idle) and 28% (gaming)/36% (Furmark). There is only a few percent difference when at the ‘reference' setting.
