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 Sapphire R9 270X Toxic Edition OC card is demanding a little more power than the Asus R9 270X Direct CU II TOP. Still the card is reasonably efficient considering the gaming performance.
