Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 FleX Edition 2GB Graphics Card Review

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.

Power wise, we were quite surprised as we honestly expected over 300 Watts at load, but were pleasantly greeted with a low output of 266 Watts. At idle, the output was extremely low and in fact was lower than first thought.
