We measure power consumption from the whole system when idle and when gaming, excluding the monitor.
The system with the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G RGB installed demands around 308 watts, which is around 3 watts more than the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming card and 2 watts less than the MSI GTX1080 Gaming X 8G.
What about EVGA FTW? I’ve heard it the fastest card isn’t it why it didn’t include in this test?
No it’s not. Actually it’s the weakest of the whole lot.

Lol, no. He meant the reference Nvidia 1080 as the fastest card in the world (which actually was) and the EVGA has improved its performance and cooling (which also is true). That said, the others AIB cards do that too, and better as the EVGA (bar the Gigabyte Gaming G1).
At the moment you have the Zotac AMP Extreme as fastest 1080 closely followed by the Palit. The EVGA is rather noisy and hot.
Very good reveiw… enjoying KitGuru..
So glad I picked one of these up for only £480 off amazon.
I like the looks but is this going to give the 11gb/s upgrade like everybody else is?
