Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic Review

Testing:

Power Consumption of the system will be measured in both idle states and loaded states and will take into account the peak voltage of the system with each video card installed. I will use MSI Kombuster to load the GPU for a 15 minute test and use the peak load of the system as my result for the maximum load. The idle results will be measured after 15 minutes of inactivity on the system.

Settings

• MSI Kombuster Stability test
• 1920 x 1200 Resolution
• 8XAA
• 15 minute load test
• 15 minute idle test
• Measurement is in Watts

Lower = Better

When overvolted, the Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic pulls more current than the standard XFX HD 6850.
