It's weird because I've seen it get the hotter 670 get to 100c gaming, and furmark only got it to 73.
Maybe they throttle it at a more hardware level now? hmm...
What do you mean "throttle it at a more hardware level"?
Throttling has always been hardware controlled.
There is more to throttling then just temps Cul.It's weird because I've seen it get the hotter 670 get to 100c gaming, and furmark only got it to 73.

Recent cards like Radeon HD 5000
Those tools, especially Furmark, cause a unrealistic load with some uber level of stress. For example when driving a car always at the rev limit of maybe 10000 or whatever, the engine may fail after only a singe day of use, it is simply running "outside intended spec", a engine is not made to be used in such a way. A formula 1 engine at 19000 will only live about 12h or so when always driving at the rev limit, in comparison a Mercedes may life 30 years when always using the engine in a gentle way around 2000-3000 rev... so the lifetime of such limit-approaches is critically reduced (it can even be reduced to a single day comparable to a formula 1 engine) and same counts for nowadays high end processors.
My "novel" is just a short explanation for inexperienced users, obviously not you, to be able to get the hang of it. The rev idea is actually from ED, and i think it is great as a comparison.Dude, no need for a novel on a thread where the answer is already clearly received...
