To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.

Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
