Power Consumption Testing

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 Power Consumption

To test the power consumption, the test bench was plugged into a P3 Kill-A-Watt. Idle power consumption was taken 15 minutes after logging into Windows 7 with no other programs running. The load tests were done running FurMark 1.80 with a resolution of 1280x1024. This was more than enough to bring the load on the GPU's to 100%.
