Nvidia GTX980 Ti Review

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 Tomb Raider at 4k resolution and the synthetic stress test Furmark – recording both results.

Maxwell cards are always extremely power efficient. As we can see the GTX980Ti system consumes 329 watts under gaming load. The slower Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X 8GB by comparison takes 21 watts more at the socket.
