To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. We measure results while gaming in Crysis Warhead and record the results.
In such an energy aware climate, AMD are making a big deal out of their new ‘ZeroCore Power’ technology. Many solutions today use power gating, clock gating and memory compression to reduce idle power requirements, but ZeroCore power technology can completely power down the core GPU while the rest of the system remains active.
The card is surprisingly efficient demanding between 140 and 155 watts when gaming. We managed to peak at 180 watts running Furmark. These really are remarkable results for Asus.
thats incredible. £400 is a lot of money, but its £80 less as said. seems like a good saving for another kit of memory or similar !
Thats a winner. but the GTX680 will be faster when you overclock it 🙂 not really fair as this asus card is overclocked.
Very tasty. Good oc too
They make great video cards. This is better than anything amd have out.
Nvidia back in the game! They need something out around the 300 quid mark now
very nice indeed. Their Direct CU cooler has always been very good. Only thing I would say is the bundle is dire looking.
bought one this morning, damn you 🙁
it seems you have a problem in your rig ,In unigine heaven bench, i ve got a 2924 score and 116,1 average fps with this card on a sabretooth p67 mobo with i5 2500k @ 4ghz with 8g of ram
all the bench settings were the same
you should get more then me with your rig , i think …..
ASUS GTX670-DC2T or ASUS GTX680 is faster in max overclocking?
are these cards stable in max overclock?
sorry i forgot to say my computer specifications
My computer components are : ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe, Intel i7 3770K, Ram 32GB G.Skill DDR3 1600.
