For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load, as well as the GPU temperature with the card idling on the desktop. A reading under load comes from running the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra stress test 20 times. An idle reading comes after leaving the system on the Windows desktop for 30 minutes.

Full credit to MSI here, the Evoke OC runs very, very cool indeed – with a peak GPU temperature of just 62C. This is a whopping 18 degrees cooler than reference which is very impressive stuff.

This impressive thermal performance is demonstrated by our thermal imaging camera as well, with hot spots on the card reaching 60C on the side, and 52C on the backplate.
