Power ConsumptionTo 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.
We used the same card again to work as a comparison, as they both have a slight overclock in comparison to a reference card. Even though the Gigabyte has a very small overclock, we can only assume that the three fans consume quite a bit more power than the HIS card with its single fan solution.
