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 record the results.
Power consumption is at the same level we would expect from a HD7870.

A powerful 16-core CPU trapped behind bottom-tier storage and a mediocre screen - the Geekom M16

Its a problem when sapphire are constantly pushing new boundaries with their coolers.
I could tell on the first page that the cooler wasnt going to be good. It might work on the hD7850 as its much cooler running.
Its a nice looking little card actually, very neat and the size of the actual PCB.
Sadly that cooler is never going to work, lok at the size of the aluminum heatsink, its much too small for a start. its more suited to a HD7770.
Never seen their cards for sale here anyway, first ive read about them, ever.
The cooler does look almost identical to the HD7770 model, I doubt its any different http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7770-ghz-edition.html
its how companies save money between ranges, but it normally works from a higher spec model to a lower spec model, not the other way around
Avoid this card at all costs, I had the royalqueen version and it was so loud I couldnt live with it. I had it returned and got an XFX card, it was so quiet and about 15c cooler.
this info about graphics card is very completly,,tank,s
