News Graphics Card Power Consumption Tested: Which GPUs Slurp the Most Juice?

Damn, can we just appreciate the work that Jarred has done in this article:

Graphics Card Power Consumption and Efficiency Tested

We tested over fifty graphics cards to see which give the best performance per watt.

I keep finding myself going back (several times a year) to this article hoping for new updates with newer cards or with some of the missing cards from the RX 6000-series like such as 6600 XT, 6650 XT and 6700 non-XT. Hope they will be added in the list in the future haha
With the energy prices skyrocketing here in Scandinavia, Europe - Power consumption and fps per watt is very relevant for us or atleast for me.

AMD and Nvidia - Please hook him up with these cards!

EDIT: Woops sorry, forgot that I commented on this topic earlier haha!

FWIW, the updated power charts are in the GPU benchmarks hierarchy, near the bottom of the first page. I did drop anything pre-ray tracing from the charts, though, so it's only RTX 20 and newer, RX 6000 and newer, and Arc.

If you really care about power consumption, then you'll want to use a utility program to limit clock speeds. You could look into undervolting, as well.

GPUs tend to clock far above their peak-efficiency point. At lower utilization, they can be a lot more efficient. I can't say whether it would make sense for you even to buy a wider GPU to facilitate this, but perhaps if your power is expensive enough.

a vega ? wasn't that a car they made in the 1980s ?
lol, why test these obsolete cards ? we know the old ones were not efficient. you should have a cut off date. then, use the amazon best sellers list to pick and choose the cards you want to pick for review. i wanted to see specs on the radeon rx 6600 xt. some of us are still using win 7 ultra. i had to go look which one cards in your review were still compatible
