Temperatures

We also tested the Vortex II feature that lets you adjust the distance of the fan from the card by rotating it. No matter what configuration, we only saw very tiny differences that can barely be measured and certainly have no impact on everyday use.

Important: GPU temperature will vary depending on clock speed, voltage settings,
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 that we measured. We performed the measurement on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
