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.
When idle the card sips a modest 17 watts, and this quickly rises to around 160 watts when gaming, still very good results.

Our in‑house PC building expert, James, recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone on Amazon only to discover that he had unknowingly purchased an imported grey‑market device sold as a standard UK model. The situation left the phone without any manufacturer warranty and raised concerns that more UK buyers could be caught out by misleading phone listings on Amazon.

Yay, thats a mega card from Zotac !
I like that a lot. Great price, its £30 less than the HD6950 too.
that is one seriously fast clocked card. 1ghz? 460 eat your heart out !
as always, great review man. I like the cooler. but I agree, it can get a bit toasty considering thedual fans etc.
Im impressed, and I didnt think that was possible this year with nvidia. any ideas who is stocking it?
Pretty good price, although I see a lot of sites complaining they are priced too high. Dont know how thats worked out. This one is faster than a Ti isnt it ? going on results.
I think this updated series is a waste of time, the Ti was fine, just needed to price them better.
I dont think that cooler is doing that good a job considering the heatpipe design and dual fans? Have zotac overvolted the card to make it stable at 950?
