AMD RX 7700 XT Review ft. Sapphire Pulse

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:

Despite AMD rating the RX 7700 XT with a Total Board Power draw of 245W (TBP), Sapphire's own product page offers a rated TBP of just 230W for the Pulse. At 1080p I found it to be below even this figure, with an average of 215.9W over the 12 games tested.

Ray tracing results

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

8-Game ray tracing average:

Power did increase slightly in games with RT enabled, but only to an average of 221.2W.
