well this will be my last video on the ASUS Aries uh dual GPU
0:06
5870 video card and I just wanted to
0:09
take a quick look at power consumption so I'm running 3D Mark Vantage once
0:14
again I'm at just the default clock speed which is two of these so 25870
0:20
clock speed so I'm just going to go have a look at what we're pulling out of the
0:24
wall here bear in mind that this power supply is about 80% efficient so so
0:30
we're pulling about uh 80% of that uh in
0:34
fer Mark I've seen it go a little bit higher I've seen it get up around 500
0:38
watts from the wall but um yeah overall
0:41
for a for an overclocked six core processor and a dual
0:46
5870 Ludicrous Speed graphics card it's not too bad now I suspect for this part
0:52
it's going to go up a little bit higher you can hear the graphics card
0:56
working a little harder 440
1:00
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
1:04
watts so there you have it power consumption on the assus Aries graphics
1:10
card
