HIS Radeon HD 7870 IceQ X Turbo X 2GB Graphics Card

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 consumption on this card was quite surprising, as even though it comes equipped with a custom cooler but gave similar results to the reference card, with only 6 Watts more power consumed at load and slightly lower power usage at idle.
