Let’s start with the individual loads and the resulting power consumption in each case. The 17.5 watts in idle are just okay, the rest is as usual in the gradation. With just under 350 watts, the card is fully within the set limit in extreme cases, but still below the maximum power limit of 380 watts. In the Torture test, the card remains even a bit more frugal.
A look at the specifications also reveals the limiting power limits:
Compliance with standards at the motherboard slot (PEG)
Let’s now look at the load of the motherboard slot, which is specified by the PCI SIG as 5.5 amps. This results in a maximum power of 66 watts at 12 volts. One can see very clearly that this norm is already exceeded quite easily in the Torture Test. You don’t have to think that’s so nice, even if nothing will burn down here for a long time. If you really exhaust the card completely, you are right at the limit of what is tolerable.
Power supply load in detail
Before we deal with the load peaks and the power supply recommendation in the next chapter, I’ve recorded two minutes of higher resolution for you once, whereby the interval here is at the magic 20 ms, which is already interesting for power supplies (shutdown). The graphics below cover gaming (Horizon Zero Dawn UHD) and the Torture Test.
