V-Sync: If you don't need the highest framerate and want to conserve power, running at 60 FPS is a good option.Our high-speed test equipment is able to capture power spikes that occur very quickly, before the power limiter on the graphics card can react. All modern graphics cards have power limits, which are tested in this scenario. Maximum: We use Furmark's Stability Test at 1920x1080, which results in very high no-game power consumption that can typically only be reached with stress-testing applications.We ensure the card is heated up properly, which ensures a steady-state result instead of short-term numbers that won't hold up in long-term usage. Gaming: Cyberpunk 2077 is running at 2560x1440 with Ultra settings and raytracing disabled.This codec has GPU-accelerated decoding on every modern GPU, so it not only tests GPU power management, but also efficiency of the video decoding hardware. Video Playback: We use VLC Media Player to watch a 4K 30 FPS video that's encoded with H.264 AVC at 64 Mbps bitrate, making it similar enough to many streaming services without adding a dependency on internet bandwidth.When using high refresh rate monitors, power consumption can be higher than in this test. When using two identical monitors with the same timings and resolution, power consumption can be lower. The card is left to warm up in idle mode until power draw is stable.
#RTX 3080 POWER CONSUMPTION DRIVERS#
Windows 10 is sitting at the desktop with all windows closed and drivers installed. The refresh rate is set to 60 Hz for both screens. One monitor runs 2560x1440 over DisplayPort, and the other monitor runs 1920x1080 over HDMI. Multi-monitor: Two monitors are connected to the tested card, and both use different display timings.Idle: Windows 10 sitting at the desktop (2560x1440) with all windows closed and drivers installed.
#RTX 3080 POWER CONSUMPTION SOFTWARE#
We conduct a physical measurement using professional lab equipment, the values are not software sensor readings, which are much less accurate. Everything is measured on the DC side, it's not the power consumption of the whole system. All power consumption numbers reported on this page are "card only" values measured via the PCI-Express power connector(s) and PCI-Express bus slot.
