AMD Radeon R9 290X 4 GB Review
Value & Conclusion »Temperatures
Temperatures are quite high. At 94°C, especially its gaming temperatures seem very high, but it seems as though AMD had no other choice since the card had to be kept at somewhat sane noise levels (it's still noisy).
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.
Quiet and Uber BIOS both run the same clocks and voltages.
| GPU Clock | Memory Clock | GPU Voltage (measured) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 300 MHz | 150 MHz | 0.96 V |
| Multi-Monitor | 300 MHz | 1250 MHz | 0.96 V |
| Blu-ray Playback | 440 MHz | 1250 MHz | 0.97 V |
| 3D Load | 1000 MHz | 1250 MHz | 1.14 V |
| CCC Overdrive Limits | |
|---|---|
| Core | 1500 MHz |
| Memory | 2000 MHz |
