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've updated the driver to 320.39, to see if there are any major performance changes when going from 320.18. The sample card would GPU Boost to 1,254MHz in every title we tested, and this is how it compares with other GTX 770s that have passed through the labs:

GTX 770 OC card
PNY
Palit
Zotac
Gigabyte
Default GPU clock
1,150MHz
1,150MHz
1,150MHz
1,137MHz
Average GPU Boost clock
1,254MHz
1,254MHz
1,280MHz
1,241MHz

There are no guarantees that your card will achieve the stated core clock, but as a yardstick for evaluating performance, our four GTX 770s all run at least 100MHz higher than the shipping frequency.
