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 the synthetic stress test Furmark and record both results.
Power consumption falls into the same zone as the other R9 270X cards we have tested in recent months.

Sonic x Shadow Generations hits new sales milestone
Just one month after release, the remaster/expansion Sonic x Shadow Generations has sold 1.5 million copies – far outpacing the 2011 original.
Well that is beautiful, no doubt about it. excellent card from Gigabyte!
the windforce coolers are great, I have an older windforce card and its quiet as hell.
Just watch out for dust long term, they do gather a lot, and I find they need cleaned out every 4 -5 months under regular use or performance will be hurt.
If you only have a 1080p monitor I dont see any point in spending more than £180 now.
Ordering this one in the new year. superb for the money
Well I’m more than sure that I’ve made a good investment, my country is hot, arround 36 on summer so a good cooling solution it’s a must have, anyway good investment, good decent card, way more cheaper than nVidia’s a power hungry overheating machine, I’ve hada lot bad experiences with nVidia this is my first AMD-ATI GPU
