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 Tomb Raider at 4k resolution and the synthetic stress test Furmark – recording both results.

All of the GTX980 cards we have tested are very efficient. Gigabyte's GTX980 G1 Gaming takes 163 watts under gaming load.
