Overall this is much higher than reference, this is due to an increased GPU voltage to allow easy overclocking and the standard higher clock frequencies. Below, a chart of measured Wattages per card. Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 193 Wattsīear in mind that the system Wattage is measured from the wall socket and is for the entire PC.

System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 340.We'll be calculating the GPU power consumption here, not the total PC power consumption. On average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). Our test system is based on a power hungry Core i7 965 / X58 system. We however are not disclosing what application that is as we do not want AMD/NVIDIA to 'optimize & monitor' our stress test whatsoever, for our objective reasons of course. If we take a very-harsh-on-the-GPU gaming title, then measure power consumption and then compare the very same with Furmark, the power consumption can be 50 to 100W higher on a high-end graphics card solely because of FurMark.Īfter long deliberation we decided to move away from FurMark and are now using a game like application which stresses the GPU 100% yet is much more representable of power consumption and heat levels coming from the GPU. Furmark is so malicious on the GPU that it does not represent an objective power draw compared to really hefty gaming. Note: As of lately, there has been a lot of discussion using FurMark as stress test to measure power load. The before and after wattage will tell us roughly how much power a graphics card is consuming under load. We simply stress the GPU, not the processor. The methodology: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. Let's have a look at how much power draw we measure with this graphics card installed.
No further configuration is required or needed unless you like to tweak settings, for which you can open the driver's control panel.
#PALIT NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 TI DRIVER INSTALL#
Once done we boot into Windows, install the latest drivers and after a reboot all should be working. Preferably get yourself a power supply that has these PCIe PEG connector native (converting them from a Molex Peripheral connector, anno 2010, we feel is a no-go).
Once the card is seated into the PC make sure you hook up the monitor and of course any external power connectors like 6 and/or 8-pin PEG power connectors.
Installation of any of the NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards is really easy.
