Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual-X 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.
Regardless of the Titan’s TDP of 250W we also see overall system draw sitting mid field idling at 127W and under full load just passing over the 300W mark. This potentially means that 3-way SLI on a 1000W PSU is certainly within reach.
