Power Draw

We use Nvidia PCAT to measure power draw of the graphics card only, with readings from both the PCIe slot and the PCIe power cables combined into a single figure. We use A Plague Tale: Requiem (4K/2160p) for this testing.

As for power draw, we saw the Red Devil pulling just under 330W in A Plague Tale: Requiem, only a small increase over the Taichi and still almost 20W less than the Nitro+.

Performance per Watt

Combining the power draw values shown above with the performance data, we present performance per Watt for each graphics card tested:

Because of that, efficiency is actually a hair better than the Nitro+ and on par with the Taichi.
