RealNeil Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Good review. I like the performance per cost of this card. I would probably hold out for the 8GB version, though. Edited August 2, 2016 by RealNeil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Have a couple of those in the wings to see how they do by comparison. For $219 though this one is a solid little 1080 gaming card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
waruna40 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 the post says its 281W on load. is that the total system power consumption or just the card? if it is just the card then, what is the total system power consumption with nitro card. many thanks.

VaporX Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 When I am pushing hard with the 8 gig model I see power draw from the wall for the entire system of around 320 so I would say he listed total system draw. As for 8GB vs 4GB, for 1080P 4GB is enough and a 470 or 480 put together with a good Freesync monitor like from Nixeus, AOC or Viewsonic that is 24", 1080P at 144Hz and you have a reasonable price build that is gaming nirvana. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 @ Waruna40, It is total system draw from the wall. I use Unigine heaven at 1920 x 1080 with maximum settings and pull the load from the same spot at each run through. Some games may pull higher loads but this test gives a consistent result time over time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
