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 GTX660 Ti is an efficient design, consuming only 152 watts when gaming.
well thats quite impressive, im still waiting for the true 460/560 replacement, im not spending this amount on a video card. what am I waiting for the 650?
ASUS make some great cards. the price is good, but I agree, I wish nvidia would get out a 180 quid card like the older 460, just updated.
Another great card, hard to go wrong now with anything in these ranges. Surprised how well it did in 3dmark 11, thats a hell of a score for a sub £300 GPU.
Loving the ASUS GTX660 akshun, come on KG time to give it away COMPETITION!
