To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Tomb Raider at 4k resolution and the synthetic stress test Furmark – recording both results.
The Asus GTX980 Strix OC consumes around 160 watts when loaded with Tomb Raider. As we have already detailed with previous reviews, the Maxwell architecture is very efficient.
