Power, Temperature and Noise

This is the page on which partner cards do tend to show some variance. Asus, keeping to a stock TDP, ensures power consumption is in line with Nvidia's reference board.

The advantage of taking it easy on the throttle is that temperature is of little concern to a triple-fan cooler as large as the TUF Gaming OC. 58ºC under load is practically cold.

Low temps, low noise. Just the way we like it. All of the above numbers are recorded with the Asus card using the default Performance Mode BIOS. Switching to Quiet Mode reduces system noise even further to 33.1dB - the best we've seen on any graphics card from this generation - with only a minor increase in temperature.
