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:

Power draw is low for the RX 6500 XT. It has a rated TBP of 107W, and we came close to that in a handful of games, but on average we saw the card draw just under 96 Watts at 1080p.
