Next-gen graphics card review: the price of power
Unboxing it felt like an engineering flex. But does that power actually reach games?
This review covers 12 hours of real gameplay, power draw measurement and thermal analysis. We recorded every step from unboxing to verdict.
Power draw
Hitting 320W under load, the card wants a 750W PSU. That is a serious line item for anyone upgrading an existing build.
Verdict
Plenty of brute force, debatable efficiency. Hard to recommend before a price-performance balance appears.
