ASUS Ares ATI Radeon 5870 X2 Graphics Card Power Consumption Test Linus Tech Tips

2010-07-30
well this will be my last video on the asou series dual GPU 5870 video card and i just wanted to take a quick look at power consumption so I'm running 3dmark Vantage once again I'm at just the default box speed which is two of these so 258 70 clock speed so I'm just gonna go have a look at what we're pulling out of the wall here bear in mind that this power supply is about 80% efficient so we're pulling about 80% of that infirmary I've seen it go a little bit higher I've seen it get up around 500 watts from the wall but yeah overall for a for an overclocked 6 core processor and a dual 5870 ludicrous speed graphics card it's not too bad now I suspect for this part it's gonna go up a little bit higher you can hear the graphics card working a little harder for 40 no that's inside it's gonna go for me so when the video card is not working we're sitting at around 300 watts so there you have it power consumption on the assuit aries graphics card
