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.

Per-Game Results (RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition Only) at 2160p (4K):

12-Game Average at 2160p (4K):

Up at 4K resolution, power draw is much more consistent across our 12-game sample, and we see an average draw of 342.2W. Again, this is still about 10W less than the RTX 3090, despite both sharing the same 350W TGP rating. We can likely put this small difference down to the fact RTX 3080 Ti has half the memory modules of the RTX 3090, which is likely to account for the small difference in power.
