Power Consumption
To test power consumption, we monitor the overall power of the system through a plug-in electricity usage monitor at an idle and load state. This allows us to show the fluctuation between how much power draw the graphics card takes at idle and at load. By monitoring the overall usage of the whole system, it gives an easy comparison if you wish to do the same yourself as opposed to buying very expensive individual testing equipment.
The overall system power was measured at 102.6 at an idle state and rose quite significantly to 245.1 but when i look back at results of similar cards including a reference 6870 from AMD, the cons of the slight extra power are evened out by the extra cooling and faster clock and memory speeds that this card has.
