PassMark – Performance Test 9.0 (3D Test)
Test the speed of your 3D video card by selecting from options such as fogging, lighting, alpha blending, wire frame, texturing, resolution, color depth, object rotation and object displacement. Separate tests for DirectX 9,10,11 & 12. With support for 4K resolution.
Load Temperatures
During full load, temperatures reached a high of 50 degrees Celsius, while the GPU hot spot hit a high of around 87 degrees Celsius. The full load temperatures are fairly low and well below what we expected.
Total board power draw reached a high of 169W. It’s 9W higher than the specified 160W, which is understandable due to an overclocked GPU.
