Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 2160p (4K). 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 2160p (4K):

4K data isn't hugely relevant to this class of GPU, but it's here if you want it.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all eight games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

The same goes for 4K ray tracing figures – power actually drops slightly as the GPU is often bandwidth starved at these settings, resulting in power dips.
