so the point of this video is just to quickly demonstrate the uh the power
consumption of the four-way SLI 6 core machine while running a typical game so
I have race driver grid running at 1280x
800 um on my projector here and um this
is actually I I mentioned this in another video I'm not sure if I ever uploaded it or not though but this is my
first time gaming on a projector and so I got my G25 wheel set up here and uh
it's actually pretty cool I don't know how many inches this screen is but it's
a lot um just projecting onto a white wall and it's actually kind of this
projector is just a a demo unit that I get to have a look at for a couple days
but uh I think it's pretty much got me convinced to oh that kind of failed it's
got me pretty much convinced that I need to go out and buy a projector now so
anyway I'll get the uh cameraman or uh
to go have a look at the uh the energy
meter that I have sitting on the wall I'm crashed so I'm going to get up and turn on the light in the room here so
that you can actually read it so anyway there that gives you some idea this is
not a worst case scenario this is running a fairly
non-demanding game uh grid isn't sort of
the worst that you'll see um but what I saw before was typically in the sort of
1,000 watt range so something to bear in mind is that means the system's probably
pulling about 850 Watts during a typical
gaming load so I'm going to actually update this with some synthetic
benchmarks which should give us some more realistic absolute maximum power
consumption but what this does tell us is that the 1500 wat power supply is
more than comfortable with the load that this system can put out
