PowerColor Radeon HD 6770 PCS+ Vortex II Graphics Card Review
Andy Ruffell / 13 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.
At idle, the power consumption on the 6770 is reasonable and at load is also where we expected it to be.
