The streamer measured the card’s power draw at idle, which was 14W. Gaming power draw was not measured during the stream. However, we’ve already discussed the card’s gaming power draw in our exclusive report which went out a few days ago. While gaming the card hovers around ~100, which is substantially less than the advertised TDP of 150W. In fact, because the card is equipped with a single six pin PCIe connector, 150W would be the card’s maximum power rather than what would be typically seen under a gaming load.
