Test Rig
For our tests, we used our usual test rig which includes the Asus ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming motherboard, along with an Intel Core i9-14900K @ default clock speed, as well as 32GB of Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-7200 in quad channel mode.
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

PassMark – Performance Test 10.2 (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 62 degrees Celsius, while the GPU hot spot hit a high of around 83 degrees Celsius.
The load temperatures are within the expected range, so no concerns here. The triple fan design with 3 striped axial fans seems to be doing a good job of cooling the graphics card.
Total board power draw reached a high of 306W with an average of 277W. It’s much higher than the specified 260W, probably because the card uses an overclocked GPU. And that’s why we recommend a minimum power supply of 850W or higher, preferably 1000W.
