Power Consumption 1060 vs 1050ti

[x360720x]

Hi all,

I'm looking at building a HTPC with plex media server and one in which i will be able to stream games to my nvidia shield. As this will be left on 24/7 power consumption is a major factor in the purchase, my question is whilst idle and doing light loads how would the power consumption differ (I have no concern when performing at high load when gaming)?

Thanks!

From TechPowerUp
Idle:
- GTX 1050ti = 4W
- GTX 1060 6GB = 5W
Multi-Monitor:
- GTX 1050ti = 4W
- GTX 1060 6GB = 6W
Blu-Ray:
- GTX 1050ti = 6W
- GTX 1060 6GB =6W
(Power consumption is for the GPU only)

As above, negligible difference for idle, but considerably more under load.
