Just wondering what sort of power consumption you guys get with these cards once theyre overclocked? I was thinking i was gonna be drawing a lot less power than my 290x cards but im actually drawing more.

Im getting a peak of 810watts using 3dmark ultra combines test on the 980s where as i used to get about 800 watts on the 290s at +200mv. Im not concerned as its no where near my PSU output once the efficiency is taken into account.

The only unfortunate thing is i removed one of my rads from the loop thinking it wouldnt needed but im gonna have to stick it back in as the loop is getting quite warm.

I think i've been watching too many Pascal reviews so ive got their silly efficiency figures in my head :)
 
Yup its definitely fine, i was just surprised it pulled more power than my 290x setup. Idle it runs at 55 watts which is nice though.
