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 card takes around the same power as the HD7850 consuming around 120 watts when gaming.

Leaker claims Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti will pack 8,960 CUDA cores
Leaker Kopite7kimi, known for accurate Nvidia leaks, claims that a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is in the works and could launch alongside the RTX 5080 at CES.
Nice looking card – I think it all depends on the pricing. the HD7850 sold well near the end as they were often offered at £125. at that price they would be onto a winner, but £150? bit high I think
Good performance and at least the shaders are up to 1280 over 1024 on the 7850. Only thing I feel is that AMD partners will sell the 270x at very close to 270 pricing, so not much point in having both. $20 difference? who will buy a 270 – feels like the 6830 and 6850 all over again. the cheaper part never sold as retail prices were so close.
