KFA2 GT 520 Passive 1GB Graphics Card Review

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.

One place this card did shine was in terms of how much power it used. At idle, we were given an acceptable 113.2 Watts, whilst load saw us receive a fairly low 148.4 Watts, slightly below that of the Radeon HD 6450.
