Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X 4 GB Review
Value & Conclusion »Temperatures
Temperatures are good. To me, single-fan mode seems the way to go. There is really no difference between 37°C and 46°C in idle, other than the difference in noise.
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 | 1400 MHz | 1.00 V |
| Blu-ray Playback | 480 MHz | 1400 MHz | 1.16 V |
| 3D Load | 1024 MHz | 1400 MHz | 1.12 V |
| CCC Overdrive Limits | |
|---|---|
| Core | 1500 MHz |
| Memory | 2000 MHz |
