Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p. This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

The increase in clock and memory speed necessitates an increase to power draw. Sapphire raised power targets even further than the reference figures however, but we can still see some significant jumps at 1080p – the 6950 XT draws over 70W more than the 6900 XT, while the 6750 XT is pulling another 40W over the RX 6700 XT.
