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:

Given the roughly 10% increase in clock speed, AMD also had to increase the RX 7600 XT's power draw, and that is very clear from our testing. At 1080p, it drew an average of 184.7W, a hair below the rated 190W TBP, but still enough that it works out as a 19% increase compared to the RX 7600, while it is about 70W (61%) higher than the RTX 4060, or dead-level with the RTX 4070.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.
