Sapphire HD6870 FleX Edition CrossfireX Review – Quad screen 7680×1080 testing

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. The best way to get maximum load results is by using Furmark, and even though it is not indicative of a real world situation it shows the limits the card can theoretically demand. The ‘gaming’ results are measured when playing Crysis Warhead and is a more valuable result to take from this.

The HD6870 FleX Edition consumes slightly less power than the Toxic, around 3 watts when gaming and 4 watts under Furmark load.
