Temperatures
As the testing conditions could not be controlled accurately enough the temperatures are really not comparable with each other. The coolers on these graphics cards did do a whole lot better than the reference coolers though. The idle temps ranged from 35 to 48 depending on the clock speeds etc. and the load temps varied between 54 to 65 degrees centigrade.
...and here we have the results for the review:

ConclusionIt's great to see some more competition on the graphics markets once again as AMD is back in the game with the RV770 based cards. The effects of competition could easily be seen as Nvidia was forced to lower its prices radically after the HD4K series was released. This shows how much air Nvidia really had in their prices. All of the HD4850 cards showed great performance and some promising overclocking results. The cooling also had been improved from the reference design, in all of the four cards that we had in our review. This way the cards are both quieter and cooler than they would have been with the reference cooler. These four cards have also been heavily overclocked, making these considerably faster than the reference cards. |
