MSI HD R7770 Power Edition Review

Testing:

Power consumption of the system will be measured at both idle and loaded states, taking into account the peak wattage of the entire system with each video card installed. I will use Unigine's Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to put a load onto the GPU using the settings below. A 15-minute load test will be used to simulate maximum load with the highest measured wattage value recorded as the result. The idle results will measured as the lowest wattage value recorded with no activity on the system.

Settings

• Unigine 3.0 Heaven Benchmark
• 1920x1080 Resolution
• 8x AA
• 15-minute load test
• 15-minute idle test
• Measurement is in watts

Power consumption is amazingly low! With sub-200W system loads this graphics card provided good performance at high detailed 1920x1080 gaming.
