Find out if your GPU is efficient! GPU idle power draw comparison!

So in one of other threads I complained about the idle power draw I was getting on my Asus Prime 5070 Ti.

Aside from that, I've been spending some time on the internet collecting data on idle power draws of various cards out of curiosity. So I decided, why not create a thread here, so that everyone can see whether or not their card is efficient and post their own results.

--------------------------------------------

To take part all you have to do is:

1. Make sure that your GPU isn't doing much (watching video, gaming, rendering, AI)
2. Check your power draw

The ways you can check your power draw are:

For nVidia users (no download or install): Through nVidia app -> System -> Performance -> GPU Power

For AMD users (no download or install): Trough Adrenalin software -> performance and then metrics or tuning -> power consumption

For Intel users (no download or install): Through Intel Arc Control -> Performance -> GPU Power

For any GPU (requires the program be installed): Using CPU-Z (board power draw from "sensors" tab), HWInfo (GPU power), HWMonitor or similar applicaton

3. Post the number that you get alongside the card that you have (example: MSI Inspire 5070 Ti / Sapphire Pulse 7900 XTX / Sparkle Arc B580) and preferably also how many monitors you have on (bonus points if you also specify resolution and refresh rate)

---------------------------------------------

Starting off with some results I got from asking around. Each one of these is a single reading from a single card. If there are doubles - those are different people with different readings, it isn't a mistake.

Nvidia cards:

5090
PNY - 50W (multi-monitor; Linux)
Palit 5090 GameRock - 32W (single monitor)
MSI SUPRIM Liquid 5090 - 21W (single monitor)
Inno3D 5090 ICHILL Frostbite - 11.7W (outstanding for a 5090!)
Palit - 22W (single 4k monitor)
MSI RTX 5090 Suprim - 68W (two monitors and 1 TV); 58W (two monitors)

5080
PNY - 39W (multi-monitor)
PNY - 35W (multi-monitor)
MSI Suprim SOC - 12.5W (single-monitor)
MSI Ventus 3X OC Plus - 30W
MSI Shadow 3X - 31W (multi-monitor; first monitor 4k 120hz, second monitor 1440p 165hz)
MSI Vanguard - 16W (single monitor)

5070Ti
MSI Shadow 3X - 15W (single-monitor); 35W (multi-monitor; 3x 4k monitors)
MSI Gaming Trio - 45W
MSI Ventus 5070Ti - 18/19W
gigabyte windforce 5070 ti - 25W(flashed with aorus 400W vbios; multi-monitor)
Zotac Solid OC - 30W
The MSI Ventus 3X 5070 Ti - 9.7W
Inno3D 5070 Ti - 14.1W
Gigabyte 5070 TI Gaming OC - 25.5W
MSI 5070 Ti Gaming Trio - 23.5W
Gamerock - 30W (dual-monitor)
Asus Prime OC - 35-40W (single monitor; my card; could be defective)
Gigabyte Gaming OC - 31W

5070
MSI Shadow 2X - 3W (Linux; used as server)
Inno3D 5070 Twin x2 (usually the cheapest 5070) - 5.8W
ASUS Prime 5070 OC - 7.1W
nVidia 5070 Founders Edition - 8W
Gigabyte 5070 Gaming OC and the MSI 5070 Gaming Trio both come in at 10W
PNY OC - 6W (single-monitor 180p240hz)

5060 Ti
Colorful Tomahawk Duo 16GB - 9W (multi-monitor)

AMD Cards:

AMD RAdeon 7800XT - 14.9W
AMD Radeon 7900XT - 15.2W (Assuming this is the reference/MBA model)
AMD 7900XTX - 18.5
ASUS TUF Radeon RX 9070 XT OC - 15W
ASUS TUF Radeon 9070 OC - 15.7 (weird that this idles above the XT)
Asus Prime RX 9070 XT - 30W (multi-monitor; different resolutions and refresh rates)

May the most efficient win!

These numbers can be misleading.
Here is one of the most inefficient GPUs on the market.
7900XTX - 9W

That depends. It may be inefficient under load, but still very efficient at idle, or the other way around.

There are plenty of benchmarks about the under load power consumption of various cards, but hardly ever a peep about idle. Disappointing, since idle is the floor below which you will never go, even if you're hardly using your system. It's going to be there any time your computer is powered on.

That's why I want to see discussion of idle power draw be drawn more into the mainstream, and that's what I'm trying to accomplish with this thread. Help fill the information gap, for those that care about it at least.

9W is actually excellent and I thank you for your participation.

A bit of an odd thread for sure. Since my 3080TI draws more than a 4090 under full load, but idles very low in turn.

This 9W is misleading because it only happens if I have everything closed and don’t move my mouse. Just touching my mouse spikes it to 30W. Browsing Internet is like 50W.
I also dislike how it scales in games. Full load is like 380W but I need to drop below 60% utilisation to see any difference. It does drop to 180W if I cap fps but ultra old games still draw well over 100W.

I’m happy with the GPU but efficiency is not its strength.

Gigabyte windforce dual fan 5060 ti 16gb - 21W idling on 1440 @ 240hz with balanced power settings in windows and stock power settings for the card itself.

I can get it down to 18W if I turn everything down.

Liquid Inc 6 月 9 日上午 5:26

Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX - Idling 20w -> 22w looking at this thread. 1 27in monitor, 4k@60hz. Fans always running at 40% speed (1600RPM min)*

*I have MSI afterburner with fans set to a custom curve. minimum of 40% speed no matter temps, and ramp to 100% at 45C.
