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.
In such an energy aware climate, AMD are making a big deal out of their new ‘ZeroCore Power’ technology. Many solutions today use power gating, clock gating and memory compression to reduce idle power requirements, but ZeroCore power technology can completely power down the core GPU while the rest of the system remains active.
The MSI R7950 Twin Frozr III is slightly more efficient than the reference HD7950, if only by a few watts.
brilliant, love their GPU’s. but its still almost 350 quid. a lot of cash.
Twin Frozr is a great cooler. my buddy had the older V2 on his last card and while mine was churning away inside the PC, his was silent. hated him back then.
