Default Power Consumption Graphs (GF 6/7/8, x800 - x1950) :D
Here's some interesting power consumption graphs:

http://forum.ncix.com/forums/index.p...t=15&subpage=1

I'm not sure how accurate the actual wattages are, but the ratios between them seem accurate. If you want to be on the safe side, estimate the wattages at 70-80% of what you really need - that's a good thing to do for your average power supply anyway.

Pretty nice having it all laid out so simply!

Edit: Updated graphs Feb 2007.

Nice one. Loving the ratings on the x1950pro; just wished they overclocked more.

Yeah, the x1950PRO is pretty sick power consumption wise - matches a 7950GT when overclocked too, so it's right in line with GeForce cards!

I was shocked my 7900GS required so little at first. However, just now I realized I forgot to plug the PCIe power cable into mine; it's been running without extra juice for weeks and weeks at 600/800mhz, and broke a couple 7900GS records!

Seems very accurate on the whole, except maybe for those GeForce 8's, which have that separate chip to power as well.

Some of the power consumption seems a bit low... another member tested his 8800GTX and registered 180w+ power consumption. nVidia themselves have stated that this card TDP is around 175w. However, some of the other values seem on point.

I should add these to my TDP spreadsheet...

I would assume that once one voltmods and starts pushing 700MHz+ on a 7900GS, power comsumption would be more in line with a 7900GT/7950GT.
The x1950pros remind me a bit of the x800xls; monster cards that could not OC.

They've updated the graphs... includes most 6-series for nVidia and the 8xx series for ATi.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

Then I plug in my kill-a-watt electric usage monitor and measure how much my system is using at load.

I then install the next graphics card (in this case a 7600GT) and measure how much my system increased in power usage using the Kill-a-Watt. Then, I can find the total system wattage difference between the 6600 and 7600GT. When I add that to the reading at Xbitlabs for the 6600, I get how much the 7600GT uses. It looks like this:


6600 (from Xbitlabs) = 28W
6600 (total wattage for my system) = 210W
7600GT (total wattage for my system) = 219W

28+9= 37W usage for the 7600GT.
