Nvidia RTX 4080 Founders Edition Review

Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1440p. 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 1440p:

Power draw at 1440p does increase as more load is placed onto the GPU. Over the twelve games tested, the RTX 4080 drew an average of 257W, less than even the RX 6800 XT, and obviously the 4080 is significantly faster across the board, so this bodes very well for overall efficiency (which we will get to over the next few pages of this review.)
