Club3D Radeon HD 7850 royalKing 2GB Graphics Card Review

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.

Moving over to the raw power output of our complete test system, we see the 7850 giving the usual expected numbers at idle and load.
