Power consumption and loads
The power consumption of this board partner card in the Idle is significantly higher than that of the Founders edition. A proud 26 watts is not something that could be described as absolutely contemporary. Also in gaming and in the torture loop you notice that MSI has raised the Power Target significantly higher. I measure 321 watts for gaming and 322 watts in the Torture Loop. If I overclock the card to its limit, then it is already just under 345 watts, so no more, despite 110% 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 stays just under 300 watts, so that the third 6-pin connection would actually be superfluous. Two 8-pin jacks would have been easy even with maximum OC.
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:
