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.

Per-Game Results at 1080p:

12-Game Average at 1080p:

In terms of power draw, Nvidia rates the RTX 4060 Ti for a 160W TGP, but also claimed just a 140W average gaming power draw. Over the 12 games we tested at 1080p, that's pretty accurate, with our results showing an average of 142.8W. Some games do hit the 160W figure – including Days Gone and A Plague Tale: Requiem – but most are well below that.

Ray tracing results

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

6-Game ray tracing average:

Power draw does trend slightly higher with ray tracing enabled, but still below the 160W TGP – this time we see an average of 149W.
