Power consumption of video cards (reference clocks)

[Anusha]

Look what I found:
(300kB image....wait till it loads)

(Idle/2D Maximum/3D Maximum)....sorted in descending order by maximum power in 3D.

I was looking for this all this time. Guess that my VGA vard upgrade has not made the power consumption become higher than it was before....I'm glad :D

[kavishad]

Thx ...........Max.........

[Anusha]

Looks like very few people are interested in this... :/

[Thilinacba]

well now mines is 27[8500GT]...and i cant find fx5500

Ambo mage VGA eka meken hoya ganna giya wela :P
Thankz bro

[yashan]

Thanks bro.. I have 8800GT... I'm satisfy with it.:D :D :D

[Anusha]

2100 stableda?samsung da?
Of course it is stable :/
Not sure which RAM its got. I forgot to check it before installing :/

[florealworld]

wow.

[randula01]

Thanx bro............

[ishta]

thx fr da info man

hmm... my new card consume twice the Wattage!!!

And because it is further overclocked, much much more :D

Yeah! and surely now my PSU is touch n' go!! :dull: and PSU are damn expensive.. its one of those things I'd have to close my eyes and pay for when it comes to that!!

I measured the power consumption of the PC from the meter (only the PC was running in the whole house! lol)

Typical usage (watching a movie) = 213W
Max usage (running 3DMark06) = 270W

I'm honest, I can't understand anything here. :(

oh! just power consumption :cool:

I was wondering how GF6800GT defeated GF8800GT :lol:

Geez! Don't you read the TOPIC?!

[nEoN_wHitE]

So when it goes from 8800 to 9600 the power consumptions have gone down right?
Is it coz if the technology?

[prasadana2]

im on a 7300

Hey neon howz your CPU TEMPS now?

[Anusha]

Because it is SLOWER!

[nEoN_wHitE]

it sux.. see dis :eek:
shit.. dont know y :S:S:S:eek:

damn just chk dis :eek:
i was chkin dis thread and wanted to see my temp..

WTF.. how can dis be??? and i chked my CPU fan.. and again it's stuck :eek:
i gave a small puch only now it's working :(

[nEoN_wHitE]

bt 9600 is faster dan 8800 right? or not?

Dude I'm worried have you mounted your HSF properly? Because recently after my upgrade I had to do this again and I felt it was damn difficult the second time around!!!

[Anusha]

I don't see the confusion here..
I said 9600GT uses less power because it is slower than 8800GT. (you can't compare 9600 and 8800 families...you can only compare two MODELs....eg: 8800GS is usually slower than the 9600GT, but 8800GT is faster...old 8800GTS is somewhat identical in performance...but new 8800GTS is way faster!)

ahhh ic ic.. now got it.. thanx:):D:D

yaaa i think i have to try doing it again... :(
coz da 1st tym also it was kinda hard 2 attch it...
some tyms dat must be coz of dust and everythin neda?
if dat didnt work will have 2 buy a good fan or a good cooling system.. or my machine is done :(

[sri_lion]

mine is 7600gd

GT you mean?

If you have not overclocked, 1.35V is WAY TOO MUCH FOR YOU CPU! I think even 1.2V is too much, but not sure about it. You have test it. I suggest you manually set the Vcore in BIOS to about 1.25V at first and run Multithreaded Prime95's small fft test (1st test) for couple of hours. If it doesn't fail, reduce the Vcore a little bit more....I am running my age old E6300 at 1.16V and 2.8GHz and I don't see why yours can't. Voltage has an exponential relationship with power consumption (hence power dissipation) and 1.2V will lower power consumtion by ~20%. But you need to test it!

Note: When you set Vcore at AUTO and if you are running the CPU at stock speeds, BIOS will always set the Vcore to VID value. Yours it is 1.35V.

ya ya ya.. remeber those days wen i was tring to OC my pc i was reading all about those things (bt couldnt OC coz of dat heat prob, was kinda scared) bt ya.. wat ur saying is right.. i have to see about reduicng my vcore.. i saw it's set to 1.35 by default.. and will try runnig prime95
bt do i have to use da 1st optoin in prime95?? not da 3rd option da? which is blend ?:):D

You are only checking the CPU. So do the first test. It only stresses the CPU.

ahh ic.. k will chk and tell brb

else how would I ask da most craziest question? :rofl:
