Power Consumption This test will be done a bit different from the last power consumption tests we have conducted. In this case Company of Heroes is now used with AA enabled to put less strain on the CPU so it will not impact as much on the results. Please remember that this is the power consumption for the WHOLE SYSTEM. All in all, power consumption is quite good when looked at in comparison to cards like the 8800GTX and HD2900XT. It seems like the 65nm manufacturing process of the G92 core is contributing to bring power consumption down by quite a bit. Considering this card’s results in our tests; its performance per watt is definitely at the higher end of the spectrum. For this card I would recommend a good 500W power supply if you have the 8800GTS 512MB and a dual core processor. If you have a quad core and this card I would recommend a 600W unit and if you were to SLI 8800GTS 512MB cards I would recommend a 700W power supply.
