| General Benchmarks | Description | |
| Power Consumption | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record mains power draw both when idle and while playing Far Cry 3 | |
| Temperature | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Far Cry 3 | |
| Noise | A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Far Cry 3 | |
Notes
We're using the very latest WHQL drivers for the EVGA card, and it should benchmark in close vicinity to the Gigabyte GTX 780 Ti OC. Perhaps of more interest as an inter-company battle, the EVGA GTX 780 Ti should be faster than an overclocked Radeon R9 290X.
