Power Draw
We 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. We use A Plague Tale: Requiem (4K/2160p) for this testing.
Power draw is only slightly higher than the Ventus 3X, too, averaging just under 313W in our testing at 4K.
Performance Per Watt
Combining the power draw values shown above with the performance data, we present performance per Watt for each graphics card tested:
That means performance per Watt is unchanged, and it is still impressive if not chart-topping.
