Asus GTX 670 DirectCU Mini 2GB 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.
Another part of the redesign on the 670 mini lies around the power delivery with a non-reference controller. As seen with considerably less power consumption under full load, Asus have managed to squeeze out more performance per watt compared to any other GTX 670.
