Club 3D GeForce GTX 560Ti Green Edition Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 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.
Power is what this card is all about as it’s a “Green Edition” and we have to admit, that overall our system at 108.3 Watts on idle was amazing, and whilst this pretty much doubled, it’s still a low amount of power considering the performance that we’ve seen.
