PowerColor RX 9070 XT Red Devil Review

Power Draw

We use Nvidia PCAT to measure power draw of the graphics card only, with readings from both the PCIe slot and the PCIe power cables combined into a single figure. We use A Plague Tale: Requiem (4K/2160p) for this testing.

As for power draw, we saw the Red Devil pulling just under 330W in A Plague Tale: Requiem, only a small increase over the Taichi and still almost 20W less than the Nitro+.

Performance per Watt

Combining the power draw values shown above with the performance data, we present performance per Watt for each graphics card tested:

Because of that, efficiency is actually a hair better than the Nitro+ and on par with the Taichi.
