AMD Radeon HD 7750 Pro 1GB Graphics Card Review
Chris Hadley / 13 years ago
To test power consumption, we monitor the overall power of the system through a plug-in electricity usage monitor at an idle and load state. This allows us to show the fluctuation between how much power draw the graphics card takes at idle and at load. By monitoring the overall usage of the whole system, it gives an easy comparison if you wish to do the same yourself as opposed to buying very expensive individual testing equipment.
At idle, the ZeroCore technology was showing its worth with the system dropping to below 85W. At load the card was pulling around 100W less than most high end cards would be under similar conditions.
