NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB Graphics Card Review
Chris Hadley / 11 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.
The reduced TDP of the 770 from the 780 is more notable when looking at the full system power draw at load, with just under 20W less draw.
