Temperature & Overclocking

Temperature

While one would expect higher temperatures on a card with higher clock speeds, the small increase on the MSI meant the corresponding increase in temperatures was also very slight, with the core hovering around 70 degrees. Overall, the temperatures on the MSI were in line with the other GeForce 9800 GTX cards, which is expected given its cooler.

Overclocking

So how did the MSI perform when we tried to push it further in our overclocking segment? Well, we did have to say that the MSI hit a maximum core clock of 820MHz, which was slightly higher than the other cards that we tested. Unfortunately, it did not score the highest in 3DMark06, as the ASUS edged it out due to its better memory clock. However, the differences between the GeForce 9800 GTX cards were so small that it shouldn't really matter.
