power consumption for gtx 980 ti?

anandtech is showing total system power, toms is showing the card only (as 254W)

so even if the rest of your rig pulls 200W two TI's it will only pull 250 + 250 + 200 = 700W at full furmark + prime loads
 
sorry i dont understand.

i just dont want any calamities

using a asus z87 mb, i7 4770k oc'd 4500, ssd,hd, and 16gb ram

obviously i wont be able to oc

so let me get this straight as i find trouble comprehending

anandtech is saying 386 watts for the whole system combined? which includes a single 980ti.

and if i were to add another 980 ti to it that would be 386+298 (980 ti underload according to tom) + 200 system=884w?
 
ok i get it anandtech system is pulling say 386-298= 88 watts .i thought system would pull around 150 to 200 watts.ok

so lets say system pulls 200+298+298=796w so this is the absolute max my system will without overclocking.

TOM MENTIONED MAX 428.38W IN GAMING LOOP TEST is that something to consider?

Entirely depends on what your current system is lol you can't Really use someone else's results for power when they may have a different class of psu that runs really well with a very power efficient cpu ect.

Though 850 is IMHO dancing on a fine line.
 
Power supplies are rated at what they can supply, not what they can draw. What they draw from a plug socket is always higher than what they're supplying.

When people test power draw of components, they will usually test what is being drawn from the wall, not what is being supplied to the components.

This is because of efficiency. A 1000w power supply that is, say 90 percent efficient will draw about 1100w from the wall when supplying 1000w of power to your components.
