Interesting information on MSI FX5900
Here are my computer specs:
P4 3.7Gig 533MHz FS with 1 Gig 400M/dual channel ram (800Mhz equivalent) 400Watt PS capable of 20Amps on the 3.3V rail Dual Monitor setup: 21' CRT running at 1600x1200 and 17' Flatpanel display at 1200x1024 Here is what I tested, I used Aquamark3 for these tests: default settings. I used the second screen to display the 3.3V monitor and the GPU temperature. The 3.3 V rail runs at 3.29V since I installed the card, not a problem, and the ambient temp inside the computer is 42 C. During the test, the voltage briefly dropped to 3.21V . The GPU temperature during the benchmark averaged about 62 C during most of it rising to 71C at the massive overdraw. And as others have posted, dropped 10 C right after the test. I can't imagine how the GPU could ever hit 145 unless the fan is broken. Ok here is something that is not published. When the card is run as a single display, I get within 40 points of the Auqamark3 score on Tom's Hardware guide. With the second display running, my score was 31 462. I thought you should know what performance hit the second output has on the card. |
