Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti – Ampere becomes even smaller and still shows its claws

Sum of CPU and GPU power consumption

You really have to look at it in its entirety, because more draw calls naturally also drive up the CPU power and thus the package power. In comparison, we see the measured power consumption of the GPU as an average value for the respective benchmark in direct comparison to the sum of GPU and the CPU’s package power:

 

This also works as GPU-only:

 

The bars are of course clearer in total:

 

CPU power consumption

I made the CPU power consumption extra because it is actually very interesting and gives a good feeling about bottlenecks. Here again everything in detail, you can see the respective settings in the chart graphic. Over the course of the benchmark period, this is how it looks:

 

Efficiency analysis

In order to be able to assess the efficiency really cleanly, I also measured the power consumption in detail for each individual benchmark, whose results we already know, which we could also see in detail on the previous page. But what can we expect if we now relate the two values meaningfully to each other? How many watts of power consumption does a single frame per second cost me (more or less)? The realization is quite astonishing.  Except for DXR, you are in the good average between the Radeon RX 6800 and the older GeForce cards, but also just behind the GeForce RTX 3070.

The bottom line is that we end up right here:
