Asus GTX 660Ti DirectCU II TOP Graphics Card Review
Chris Hadley / 12 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.
Like acoustics, power consumption is another strong area for this card with total system power of under 270W at full load and just over 130W at idle.
