Power consumption and loads
At 12.2 watts in the idle, the power consumption of this board partner card is similar to that of the Founders edition. In the meantime, Nvidia has submitted a driver update, which significantly minimizes the idle clock of the cards and leaves them at Pascal level. With gaming and the torture loop, however, you can already notice that Gainward has raised the Power Target a bit. I measure almost 250 watts in gaming and the Torture Loop. If I overclock the card to its limit, then it is already just under 275 watts, so no more, despite 112% Power Target.
The voltages are in the expected range, with the oc's permissible board power being the limiting factor, not the voltage. One notices very clearly that Nvidia deliberately limits here before a possible maximum is reached.
The load distribution on the rails is good, because the maximum 5.5 amperes of the motherboard slot are never exceeded. Even with the external power supply connections, one remains very much below 300 watts.
Detailed recording of power consumption and flowing currents
As usual, I now also set aside the power consumption and the flowing currents as detailed graphics of my oscillograph measurements. A service that hardly anyone else offers and which shows how the maps "tick" in detail:
