well this will be my last video on the ASUS Aries uh dual GPU
5870 video card and I just wanted to
take a quick look at power consumption so I'm running 3D Mark Vantage once
again I'm at just the default clock speed which is two of these so 25870
clock speed so I'm just going to go have a look at what we're pulling out of the
wall here bear in mind that this power supply is about 80% efficient so so
we're pulling about uh 80% of that uh in
fer Mark I've seen it go a little bit higher I've seen it get up around 500
watts from the wall but um yeah overall
for a for an overclocked six core processor and a dual
5870 Ludicrous Speed graphics card it's not too bad now I suspect for this part
it's going to go up a little bit higher you can hear the graphics card
working a little harder 440
no that's as high as it's going to go for me so when the video card is not working we're sitting at around 300
watts so there you have it power consumption on the assus Aries graphics
card
