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 Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.
The Nvidia GTX760 XLR8 consumes a lot less power at the socket, around 158 watts when gaming, compared to 197 watts for the MSI R9 280 Gaming.
