Cooling and Noise

For cooling testing we are moving away from Furmark testing to a better representation of what to expect in game. Furmark puts such a load on cards that they are now designed to decrease performance to prevent damage. We did include it Furmark this time around, just for comparison though.

Our in game temperatures from the GTX 650 Ti Boost came in higher than Furmark. This is a good example of a card normally pulling power, but in this case in game it actually was boosting to get the highest performance possible. At 75 degree’s it was still very close to the HD7870 that we tested last week and it had an aftermarket cooler, not too bad for a reference design.  

As the GTX 650 Ti Boost heated up, the fan did spin up and make a noticeable amount of noise. I wouldn’t consider it an issue at all, but it was noticeably louder than the GTX 650 Ti for example.
