The Ultimate GPU Benchmark (2006 - 2010)

Published: (last update )


Two years later, part 2 is ready. New games added and of course all important video cards of selected era. This time ending with Radeon 5000 series and GeForce 400 series.

Power Consumption, Temperature, Noise


Power consumption measured using the Corsair RM1000i PSU monitring. The shown values include losses in the PSU.
All temperatures, noise and power consumption figures were measured in Crysis after 10 minutes of load. 3DMark 06 power was measured in GT3 (it is the least CPU limited test).

Idle power consumption, temperatures and noise were measured after 10 minutes cooldown period following the Crysis load.
