PowerColor Radeon HD 7790 TurboDuo OC 1GB Review

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.

Whilst this card is not one of the most powerful ones in the 7790 range that I have seen to date, it does in return give a more reasonable power figure under full load with a slightly below average level of 215W.
