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.
Here we see the MSI GTX 680 Lightning using around 132 watts at idle, which is inline with the Palit reference card. At load, we still see considerably low results considering that this card is overclocked, and only a 3 watts difference in see when comparing the reference 680 to this.
