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.
At idle, the card only consumes a miserly 10 watts of power. This rises to 49 watts when gaming and 57 watts under Furmark load. A very efficient board design.
interesting little card, looks almost like a plastic toy, but yet the cooler seems very good.
Ideal little board for a small form factor machine hooked into a plasma.
I like this series of cards, but the only issue I have with it, is AMD’s forced pricing levels. they need to drop them to 60 before I think they are really worth the cost
I was doing a little research, arent these guys associated with powercolor?
@ frankie, same parent company TUL. yes. Not sure why they need two sections of the company to produce graphics cards?
Cheap poor excuse for a card, mine broke before i even used it as the cooler fails to keep the GPU cool. Wouldn’t touch with a barge pole and the Customer support is non existent
