We first measure system-wide power draw from the wall while the card is sat idling at the Windows 10 desktop for 5 minutes. Gaming power draw is recorded by running the Deus Ex benchmark at 4K. As a maximum stress test, Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test is run 5 consecutive times and the cards’ power draws are recorded.
The Palit Super JetStream does draw slightly more power than its MSI 1070 Ti rival, but that is likely because the Palit can sustain higher clock speeds than the MSI card. In any case, it is no surprise to see the Palit 1070 Ti drawing more than a reference 1070 but less than an aftermarket 1080.
