As per previous roundups, the maximum temperature of each card running in a 15 minute loop of Quake III Arena was recorded. Core temperature was monitored by placing a thermistor on the back of each card directly behind the GeForce3 core. Memory temperature was measured by placing the same thermistor on the back of each card, this time behind the last memory chip on the right on the top row of memory chips.
