ASUS GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC Review

Power consumption was measured after 10 minutes of load under three scenarios: Furmark GPU stress test, Unigine Valley looping at the Extreme HD preset and desktop idle. The measurement was taking using an Energenie ENER007 power meter and measured for the whole system, excluding the monitor.

While Furmark and desktop idle provide stable and consistent power read-outs, Unigine Valley does not so the power reading is taken as the highest value in Scene 1 of 18.

Power consumption does increase over the Founders Edition, as you'd expect given the higher clock speeds. There's about 10-20 watts more power consumption meaning the ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX is still more power efficient than all of AMD's offerings in the same performance segment.
