VTX3D Radeon HD7970 X Edition 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.

Well this was a shock. If you look at this page you can see that the VTX3D Radeon HD7970 X actually outperforms the XFX R7970 Double Dissipation graphics card. The differences are noticeable too, around 6c better under load conditions. This would also go some way to explain the slightly higher noise emissions on the previous page.
