Temperatures
Temperatures are great, which is of no surprise with such a power efficient graphics processor. I only wish Sapphire had reduced the fan noise a bit by allowing slightly higher load temperatures. There's certainly enough temperature headroom for that.
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.
| Core Clock | Memory Clock | GPU Voltage (measured) |

Desktop | 300 MHz | 150 MHz | 0.80 V |

Multi-Monitor | 300 MHz | 1600 MHz | 0.99 V |
