We measure system-wide power draw from the wall while running the 3DMark Time Spy stress test for 30 minutes.

We also use Nvidia PCAT to measure power draw of the graphics card only, with readings from both the PCIe slot and the PCIe power cables combined into a single figure. This provides us with significantly more accurate data to work with as it is measuring only the GPU power, and not total system power which is a fundamentally imprecise measurement.

With total graphics power rated at 240W, we saw the GamingPro OC average 244W power draw over the duration of our stress test. This is a pretty significant increase over the Founders Edition, to the tune of 27%, so clearly the efficiency of this GPU has been reduced somewhat, given actual performance gains were between 1-5%.
