Q > about Video Card Power Consumption

[mattzjc13]

Ask ko lang po, di ko kasi mahanap yung tamang sagot google.

kunyari po, video card na nag cconsume ng 200watts kapag full load gaming.
if ever ba na gawin kong low settings yung game mababawasan din yung wattage?

example:

kapag ang settigs is:

ultra : 200 watts
high : 150 watts
low : 100 watts

or kahit ultra or low settings ang game 200 watts pa din?

sana po may sumagot

if youre asking a 60fps ultra vs 60fps low then there is a significant difference in power consumption. I don't think its about a half though. usually when a gpu is rated 200w, its the average. it spikes more than that sometimes. even the beloved 750ti which is 60w rated spikes to 75w.

if youre comparing 30fps ultra vs 120fps low then there might not be any significant difference. if you use amd gpu with crimson software, set the fps limit to 60 or whatever you think is playable for you. sometimes parts of the game overspikes your fps which costs gpu power. one example is loading screen for league of legends which spikes to 200. you don't really need that, do you?

Oh yes TS. Mababawasan din yung power consumption ng GPU mo pag mababa ang GPU usage.

EDIT: Sa GPU ko lang to ha, which is GTX 960. Di ko lang alam sa AMD.
