We measure system-wide power draw from the wall while running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes. We do this at 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (4K) to give you a better idea of total system power draw across a range of resolutions, where CPU power is typically higher at the lower resolutions.

Total system power draw is the last area for us to look at today, with the RX 7800 XT drawing a peak of 503W at 1080p in my Cyberpunk 2077 testing. AMD officially recommends a 700W power supply.
