Yes its from Charlie and I have absolutely no idea where that screenshot came from but I assume that since he is using some kind of evidence that it should be legit. I don't know how ''hard'' Dirt2 DX9 is on a video card or what is a reasonable max temp for a video card but 87c seems REALLY high for me even for furmark.

Personally I have never had a video card that I could monitor the temps of that would even go into the 80s. Though my overclocked voodoo 3 3000 was BURNING hot so that might have been up there(it had passive cooling).

My current card can barely get over 70c running furmark if I overclock it past 1GHz at 1.35v. Playing BFBC2 it maxes out at 63-64c. So maybe i'm wrong and this is normal? what kind of temps did the FX5800 Ultra have?

87C isn't that big of a deal imo. it's definitely not ideal but I'm sure it's within Nvidia's tolerable temperature limits.

48XX series could get pretty hot with stock fan profiles

My HD4850 has got into the 90's (partly when there was a lot of dust messing up the fan) and typically seems to be around the 80s mark and I can't say I've been worried.

These aren't CPUs, they are GPUs, and what is reasonable for one is different to what is reasonable for the other. 87 isn't anything I would worry about, and even 98 especially under an unusually high loading stress test like Furmark isn't a huge concern.

I am also confused as to what power consumption has to do with GPU temperature.
I could make an HD5450 run at 100c if I wanted, and cool a GTX295 down to 60c, tell me which is using more power. Heat has nothing much to do with power, and everything to do with the cooling system used.

yea I was right....

Quote from texster at Overclock.net..........

"i have the 1gb gddr4 version of the 2900xt, when im ingame (cod4,css,crysis) the temps shoot up to 90-95c, i dont think thats very good at all, so for now ive been manuelly setting the fan speed to around 60% and that keeps it near 85ish, but is there some other way to cool this thing? (rest of comp in sig)

So I guess it's possible.

98*C is getting up there, but 80s or even low 90s isn't unheard of for high-end cards running Furmark.

Hmm, my card peaks at 81C so clearly the 5870 is an insane furnace of a part, ATi must EoL that ASAP due to the clearly massive issues with heat generation ;)

lol

My 5870 hits the low 80's in Furmark as well but never comes close to that while playing any game.

If those temps are only playing a game then yea it's high but if it's furmark then it's normal but either way it's not a crazy temp at all.

Core temperature is only an issue when it runs out of spec. If it is too close to thermal failure overclocking will be a bitch, but there is no difference in the end of a card running at 50C and 100C if bother are designed to function in that zone. 300W over a 500mm^2 area is not going to be a freezer.

So long as the cooler can take on the power quietly there is no issue.

However, if the card was targeted at something like 70C but to improve yields a voltage pushing it closer to 90 was chosen the overclocking room will be very small without exotic cooling... but we can't possibly know that until we see reviews.

just ran heaven b/m and temps were low 90's! :eek:

*** fan @ 45% -- may have to kick-it up to 50% now! :)

FYI, only reason these higher temps are OK is because the voltage on GPUs is much lower than the stock voltage for CPUs.

I have seen badly stock cooled 4890's hit 95 to 100c under load first time i was like what the hell than I read some more and it actually normal for most of them lol.

Curious to see the fan profile from 60 to 80c. The cooler/sink looks very effective. Until we see actual reviews with fan speed/noise ratios, we shouldn't dog temps.

With an Antec 1200 and 5870 @ 35% fan speed, my gaming temps never exceeded 65c. Ditto with a GTX 285 and 60% fan speed, still reasonably quiet actually.

Furmark serves a purpose, but gamers should be concerned about gaming temps. Here's to hoping for good cooling performance and reasonable noise levels..

My 5870 can hit 74c at 900/1300. 87c seems a bit high considering on 5% performance gain.

Off Topic: I love my 5870's idle temp: 35c!!! Really nice. The fan is only at 20% too! I can't even hear it.

Charlie: "In the end, the card is too hot, too slow, and unmanufacturable. We told you so. Pop goes the ego."
--

I think his ego is the one in need of popping... This guy is trying FAR too hard to convince us that he's been right all along, and glossing over little issues like the fact that there will be more manufactured parts at launch than there were 58X0s.

87°C isn't really a big deal.

dBA stats would be interesting.

Btw. of which presentations is he talking about?

Well sorry then guys that I asked the question. I guess since I have never owned anything like a 4870X2 that it makes me ignorant.
