Powercolor HD6850 Single Slot CrossfireX Review

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 record the results.

The HD5850 is an efficient card, demanding 17 watts when idle and just over 100 watts when gaming. A Crossfire X configuration is still quite cost effective considering the power on hand.
