Power Consumption
It’s not a big surprise that the VEGA cards have the highest load, especially given they’re on a much older chipset design. Of course, we now also have our “gaming load” test, where we run Soul Calibur V at 4K, and as you can see, few cards get even close to their max usage in a typical gaming scenario. It’s amazing to think how much FPS you get out of something like the 2080 Ti vs the Vega 64 given the difference in power usage also.

Cards with a zero for idle are there to represent cards that have a Zero RPM fan mode in low-load scenarios. It’s not that the system was silent, but the GPU certainly was.
