How much power does a GTX 480 use?

As we’ve already discussed, the GTX 480 and GTX 470 have an idle power consumption of 47W and 33W respectively, putting them out of the running for the least power hungry of the high-end cards.

How much power does a GTX 970 use?

GeForce GTX 970 or 980 – On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit. GeForce GTX 970 or 980 in 2-way SLI – On your average system the cards require you to have an 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

Is GTX 480 still good?

GeForce GTX 480 Game Requirement Analysis GeForce GTX 480 is a high-end GFX based on the 40nm Fermi architecture. Its gaming performance is still outstanding. GeForce GTX 480 was the fastest single GPU available until the high-end GPUs of the 500 Series were released.

How good is a GeForce GTX 460?

Here the GTX 460 1GB puts in an impressive performance, easily providing playable framerates at 1,920 x 1,200 with 2xAA. It also comfortably beats its most direct rival, the HD 5830 and giving the more expensive HD 5850 and GTX 470 a run their money.

Is 600w enough for GTX 970?

Judicious. Generally it should be more than enough, but depends on the PSU itself.

Is it possible to overclock a GTX 460?

On average we were able to attain a 24% overclock over the GTX 460 reference clock of 675MHz, and in the case of the EVGA cards a 10% overclock over their factory speed of 763MHz. The lone standout in the group is the Asus card, which has voltage tweaking capabilities that allow us to increase the core voltage beyond the GPU’s VID.

Where are the voltage checking points on the GTX 460?

The GTX 460 SOC’s GPU is cherry picked through Gigabyte’s “GPU Gauntlet” sorting process, and voltage-checking points are conveniently located to the rear of the PCB. In keeping with NVIDIA’s reference design, the card provides a single SLI link for two-way GPU configurations and necessitates two six-pin PCIe power connectors.

Which is hotter the GTX 460 or the 465?

The GTX 465 is now 80W-100W hotter than the GTX 460. Overall with a “proper” Radeon 5000 series card NVIDIA still can’t match AMD on a performance per watt basis, but they can come very close. Finally we have our look at noise.
