Power Consumption

None of these power consumption results are overly dramatic. The Radeon HD 7950 draws less power than the GTX 760, but that is not the case with the 7970 against the GTX 770.

Noise levels and GPU temperatures

Noise idleNoise loadTemp LoadOur noise tests tell a different story from the benchmarks and power consumption tests. The GTX Titan style cooler in the GTX 770 works superbly, staying assassin level silent.  I wish the same could be said about the GTX 760 cooler though. The 760 uses almost the same cooler as the GTX 660 Ti. Stress the card a little, and a rough hiss is clearly evident. This noise doesn’t register in our tests, which is funny, but the decibels are pretty much there, and that’s not a good thing. The Radeon HD 7990 shows higher numbers in our tests, but the perceived noise of the GTX 760 is louder.

When not being the Editor-in-Chief at iLLGaming or a tech journalist that he is known for, Sahil indulges himself with his pug named Tony. His favorite games are Dota 2, Dark Souls, Deus Ex and DOOM. He is sucker for PC builds and dreams about benchmark numbers in his sleep.

    • Computer hardware always seems to overwhelm most users with its ‘perceived’ complexity, but with some patience, it is actually easy to get into.
