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 OcUK GeForce GTX 970 ‘NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition' is the most power efficient GTX970 we have tested, to date. It consumes 134 watts under gaming load.
