Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 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.
Power draw sees the card pulling some very similar numbers to the comparative HD 7770 at both idle and load at 121 and 191 watts respectively.
