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 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 (4K):

As for power draw at 4K, we saw a peak reading of 303W in Resident Evil Village, but averaged over the twelve games tested, the RTX 4080 drew 280.9W. That's about 40W less than its rated TGP. It seems Ada is much less power-limited than Ampere, but rather voltage or clock-limited.
