Preview of 8600GTS - HQV and GPU Temperatures
Benchmarks HQV The results are based on driver 101.02 which is beta. Apparently, the driver isn't ready for the image quality tests. We only get 25 points out of 130. Looks like we have to wait for the official driver on 17 Apr or later. Current beta drivers do not SLI.
Temperature Monitoring The 80nm GPU temperature reading is always something that most people would be interested to find out. In this section, we used ATiTools, ran 3DMark06 before and after and note down the temperature readings. Before we go ahead with the tests, the readings are min 48 deg, max of 49 deg and an average of 48.2 deg. After running 3DMark06, the temperatures are min 48 deg, max 73 deg and an average of 58.5 deg. The temperature readings are quite good if you were to compare with a X1900XT which reaches a max reading of 90 deg mark. The card, just like this ref card is running in factory overclocked settings.
