Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p. This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

As we can see, average power draw is very low, and that is actually despite Gigabyte increasing GPU Chip power by 15W over reference. Total board power, averaged over our 12 game sample, hit 152.8W, though there are a few examples (F1 2021, Gears 5) of this hitting close to 170W as you can see above.
