For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

Likewise, for the temperatures we have no point of comparison for the RX 7700 XT just yet, but the Sapphire Pulse did very well – the GPU temperature peaked at 63C, with the hot spot at 84C, both are solid results – it will be interesting to see how they compare to other cards!
