Well that's what some of the review are saying, some are also saying it varies from card to card but that is a huge variation. :eek:

e.g.

What happens if you run a game? When we played Just Cause 2 we were able to get the AMD Radeon HD 6970 very hot and extremely loud. In this shot you can see what happened when we fired up GPU-Z after playing Just Cause 2, sat on the menu and then we closed the game again. We hit 97C and the fan went up to 3942RPM or 57% while the game was running. None of the other games got this hot or loud, but when in CrossFire we saw the Radeon HD 6950 hit 95C as well. We felt that this was something that was worth pointing out to our readers.
