Obviously we are dealing with a moderately overclocked product here so that is producing more heat. Quite frankly this is slightly worse than the reference cooler and that's puzzling me a little.
Evga e geforce 8800 gts driver full#
The card is idling at roughly 65 degrees C and at the highest temperature we measured with the GPU under full load was 78 Degrees C. We measured at a room temperature of 22 Degrees C.ĭespite the faster core frequency on the eVGA ACS³ model temperatures were pretty darn hot. we have the ACS³ slapped on top of that graphics card. PSU overload can cause it to break down.spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC.What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load?: There are many good PSU's out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSU's for you to check out in there. That power supply needs to have (in total) at least 36 Amps available on the 12 volts rails. A second GeForce 8800 GTS installed on this system requires you to have a 600 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system.That power supply needs to have (in total) at least 26 Amps available on the 12 volts rails. A single GeForce 8800 GTS requires you to have a 450 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system.Here's the power supply recommendation for the eVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTS KO w/ACS³: it's the closest thing we can do though, and it measured pretty reliable and constant It's not the most objective way to test as you have to consider PSU efficiency as well. We simply place a wattage meter in-between the PSU and power socket. This number will likely be 300 Watts for non-overclocked models. We had a total system wattage peak at roughly 315 Watts for the eVGA 8800 GTS edition card, which is a lot but not excessive. Please do understand that you are not looking at the power consumption of the graphics card, but the consumption of the entire PC.
It's a good load test as both GPU and CPU are utilized really hard here. The methodology is simple: we look at the peak wattage during a 3DMark05 session with hefty IQ settings to verify power consumption.
Our test system is a Core 2 Duo X6800 Extreme Processor, the nForce 680i SLI mainboard, a passive water-cooling solution on the CPU, DVD-ROM and WD Raptor drive. Looking at it from a performance versus wattage point of view, the power consumption is not bad. We'll now show you some tests we have done on overall power consumption of the PC.
