Power Consumption Ratings for Video Cards

Many users are confused by the power supply ratings given by Nvidia and ATI. These ratings are often for an ENTIRE system and do not reflect the TDP (thermal design power) rating for the card. It is important to know the maximum power draw of the card as opposed to knowing only the overall PSU suggested rating as systems can vary greatly.

Also, I have seen very few PSU calculators online that I trust. I prefer to know the power draw of all of my individual components and calculate my own power needs.

With that in mind, I have linked a very useful thread from the Geeks3D website. The staff there have compiled and maintain a list of the specific TDP of all the current Nvidia and ATI GPUs. Here is a link and the thread below will be updated as they maintain their list.

Our thanks to the Geeks3D site for giving us permission to duplicate their list here.

We have assembled a guide detailing the fundamentals of PSU selection. It's a great tool that gives a better understanding of what you really need to know when selecting the ideal PSU for your system ::pirate::
