AMD R9 290X Review (Ultra HD 4K testing – Part 2)

To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.

When gaming the R9 290X consumes around 240 watts of power.
