Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 2160p (4K). 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 2160p:

As for 4K, power draw does hit over 400W for the RX 6950 XT, though the other two cards are not drawing much more power than they did at 1440p. Still, we are looking at some very sizeable power draw increases for the 6X50 series compared to the original models.
