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.
The GTX Titan is the most efficient card on test thanks to the fact it is running in a default state. Both MSI and Sapphire cards are highly overclocked. The Sapphire card takes the lowest power draw when gaming, but it is only by a small amount. When tasked with Furmark, the power draw raises massively in the higher performance state.

Wow, thats a hell of a card. I just bought a GTX770, this is slightly outside my budget, but very impressive.
Yeah, id love this myself, but my car insurance needs sorted soon. great review and lovely board.
The performance results are good, its interesting to see how far AMD are behind right now, even with a card that sucks so much juice and creates such noise.
Hope they can get competitive again with the next generation.
Id like MSI GTX760 card, would suit my rig better than the 780.
I wonder how Nvidia feel about these GTX780s which are faster than the titan, seems a negative selling point if all you want to do is game.
