Power consumption at different loads
The power consumption in the gaming loop is pretty much exactly on the point that Nvidia has set as the power target with 180 watts. In the Torture loop, the power consumption is also almost exactly at this value. With the maximum possible power target of 127% exhausted, the card with just under 213 watts remained still frame and even falls below Nvidia’s limit of a maximum possible 240 watts.
The corresponding voltages for both loops in the factory state are shown in the following diagram:
Compliance with the standard on the motherboard slot
With a maximum of 3.8 amps (torture), the card is still far below what the PCI SIG sets with a maximum of 5.5 amps (66 watts) for the 12-volt rail on the motherboard slot. In the Gaming Loop, the maximum overclocking is just below that of 3.2 amperes. Overall, therefore, balancing has been implemented in an exemplary manner.
