Which these graphic card produces more heat:
Geforce FX 5200

Or
Radeon 9600 Pro

 

[refraction]

id say the 9600 pro, the R350 chip produces a lot of heat

 

[cooliscool]

The FX 5200 without a doubt. The 9600 (RVxxx core) is based on 0.13u micron process while the FX 5200 is on 0.15u.

I'd say the 9600. IIRC there are variants of the 5200 using passive cooling

 

[ChrisRay]

I'm sure there heat distribution is about equal. The 5200 has significantly less transistors but on a larger process. The 5200 might produce less heat though if it it significantly lower clocked.

 

[Aided Onslaught]

I would think the 5200, I mean those cards seemed to havea lot of problems with heat from what I remember...

You remember incorrectly. 5200 Cards dont even require active cooling.

 

[Player-X]

The 9600Pro running in my other computer and 9800Pro running in my main computer needs active cooling while the 5200 in my third computer does not

 

[D.D.]

with the exception of the nvidia dustbuster, the trend is usually that a card that vastly outperforms another is usually the hotter card i think. so from these two, the 9600pro would be the hotter one.

 

[blueshogun96]

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that nVidia cards in general heat up more than ATIs

 

[cooliscool]

Uh.. not at all.

 

[ChankastRules]

My card is the one that generates the most heat of all 9800 XT :O

 

[blueshogun96]

Uh.. not at all.

I'm suprised you didn't start talking about why 5200 is crap :lol:

 

[james.miller]

9600's only requirte a small hewatsink and fan to operate correctly. Whilst they do need active cooling, they hardly put out a lot of heat, and making a choice between an fx5200 and a 9600 card because of that one reason is silly.

There is no choice, the 9600 is the better card.

 

[RF]

The ultimate editions from sapphire dont need active cooling either with that heatpipe on it. I agree with james though, it would be retarded to pass up the 9600 over the 5200 because of more heat.
