We measure system-wide power draw from the wall while the card is sat idling at the Windows 10 desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load comes from running the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra stress test 20 times.

Power consumption for both BIOS is very similar, and is significantly increased over the 2060 SUPER Founders Edition, with the Palit pulling 44-46W more at the wall. This puts it in RTX 2070 SUPER territory, and this is clearly the downside to Palit disregarding the power limit in favour of higher clock speeds. It's not a major issue for me at all, as an extra 45W or so will do very little to my power bill – but it does depend where you live and how much you pay for your electricity.
