Test Rig
For our tests, we used our usual test rig which includes the Asus ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming motherboard
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

PassMark – Performance Test 9.0 (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 57 degrees Celsius, while the GPU hot spot hit a high of around 92 degrees Celsius. The full load temperatures are within the range of what we expected.
Any hot spot temperatue readings below 100 degrees Celsius is good enough, so this means that the Phantom Gaming 3X cooling solution is overal doing a great job of cooling the graphics card!
Total board power draw reached a high of 325W. It’s slightly higher than the specified 315W, which is understandable due to an overclocked GPU.
To be on the safe side, we recommend a minimum power supply of 850W or higher, preferably 1000W.
