| General Benchmarks | ||
| Power Consumption | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record system-wide mains power draw both when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Temperature | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Noise | A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Overclocking | Maintaining out-the-box voltage, we increase the card's power target and aim for an optimal balance of core and memory overclock. | |
Notes
To minimise the impact of any CPU bottlenecks, our test platform is configured with a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700K processor overclocked to 4.4GHz across all cores and 32GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 memory set to run at 2,400MHz using the built-in XMP profiles.
