Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 OC Dual-X fleX 3GB Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 years ago
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 power output overall was slightly higher with this card at both idle and load, but looking at things from face value, the card has the fleX aspect built into the card, as well as having a dual-fan cooler, and a pre-factory overclock, which more than makes up for it.
