PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ 4 GB Review
Value & Conclusion »Temperatures
Temperatures are much improved over the AMD reference design. In my opinion, both BIOSes could run a bit warmer for a little less fan noise in return.

cooler design, and production variances. This table just serves to provide
a list of typical temperatures for similar cards determined during TPU review.
Clock Profiles
Modern graphics cards have several clock profiles that are selected to balance power draw and performance requirements.The following table lists the clock settings for important performance scenarios and the GPU voltage we measured. We performed the measurement on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
| GPU Clock | Memory Clock | GPU Voltage (measured) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 300 MHz | 150 MHz | 1.01 V |
| Multi-Monitor | 300 MHz | 1350 MHz | 1.01 V |
| Blu-ray Playback | 440 MHz | 1350 MHz | 1.01 V |
| 3D Load | 1050 MHz | 1350 MHz | 1.09 V |
| CCC Overdrive Limits | |
|---|---|
| Core | 1500 MHz |
| Memory | 2000 MHz |
