XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition Review

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.
GPU power consumption
The XFX board takes around 200 watts of power under gaming load.
