Sapphire HD 6950 Toxic Edition 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.

The cooler proves to be very capable, thanks to the redesigned structure and rear panel air flow system, forcing more heat outside the chassis. Under FurMark load, the fan spins to just over 2,000 rpm, dropping to around 1,750 rpm when gaming.
