Inno3D iChiLL GTX 670 HerculeZ 3000 Edition 2GB Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 12 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.
Taking a look at the complete system power draw, we see a low 123 Watts at idle and even at load, we see the numbers only just peaking over 300 Watts, which was quite surprising due to the hefty overclock in place on this card.
