We measure power consumption from the whole system when idle and when gaming, excluding the monitor.
The Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming RGB system demands 305 watts of power under extended load. This is around 35 watts more than the reference Founders Edition day card, but 25 watts less than the Asus ROG Strix GTX1080.
