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. The Inno3D GTX 980 ‘iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra' is no different. It consumes only 159 watts under gaming load.

holy sht!! this is a monster of a card! im impressed by the temperatures and still decent noise.
Any hint on how hot the VRM’s were? I don’t suppose you could monitor them in GPUz?
you just need an infrared thermometer like the PCE-777
looks cool and is a giant dust trap! lol closed circuit liquid cooling like some amd cards have done would be much better imo
While i want to agree, it will make it harder to fit. Especially if you go for an SLI setup.
They would likely have a fan on there regardless so they can cool the other components such as memory and VRMs. Plus if you have filters on your case, dust shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you set it up properly.
Why does this video card have a name created by a 9 year old Cawwadooty player?
Will an SLI of these fit in an Asus Maximus vii hero board? D:
How the vrm temp under furmark??

Thanks though!
