>gtx 960 power spikes through the pcie lanes
Why the fuck is this allowed? I would not want this gpu plugged into any of my machines.
>Literally pulling up to 250w from the pcie lane alone
Does the r9 380 do this too?
What about the other Maxwell GPUs?
>>51770892
that's only the strix card.
Got the phantom power, you mad?
>>51770892
Hardware in general works this way. Not always as extreme, but peaks in power draw always appear like this.
Your CPU that pulls 70w~ on average will spike above 120w periodically. The Fury X can draw 220w-250w on average, but it can spike above 400w for microseconds at a time.
Those momentary spikes don't harm anything.

>spiking above 400w
Try spiking above 700w. 950w if even modestly OCd.
And yes, spikes that extreme do cause problems.

>Try spiking above 700w.
No.
>>51771016
Ive seen graphs of it doing so from several sources.
>>51771049
I guarantee you haven't.
You're probably confusing total system power consumption which is totally irrelevant. Literally nothing you could pull out can touch Tom's testing methodology using two oscilloscope to log isolated power draw in real time.

Because 2D looked too boring and scientific for the gaymer idiot crowd?

That's just insulting senpai, I have a GTX 560 Ti and use Windows.
(ok, the laptop runs Debian)

Fury x takes less power than 980ti
>>51771313
False
>>51770892
IIRC AMD have been trying as best as they can to avoid drawing power from the mobo at all, to the point where the power the Fury X draws is purely symbolic. Not so sure about the 380.
>>51771381
Fury x doesn't use less power, but it runs cooler than a 980ti for certain.

Fury X doesn't even exist, Asetek got it banned from sales
Stay mad, AMDPOORFAG
>>51771447
This is true. On all the tests I've seen on AMD cards, they almost never spike over 75W, and on average draw 25W or less from the PCIe socket.

THROUGH A PCI EXPRESS SLOT?

>>51770911
It's only on the Strix implementation.
That's why I went with something other than Asus this time, they probably had the worst implementation of 960.

You know asetek got the h220 banned from sale in the US? You know where it isn't banned? Rest of the world.
>>51771542
According to that retard a fury x spikes over what a 295x2 will.
