Power, Temperature and Noise
Power consumption is higher than reference, but the increase isn't unexpected as the Inno3D card maintained high frequencies of around 2,000MHz throughout our tests.
A little extra performance alone isn't enough to justify a premium liquid-cooled card, but the added cooling potential may help sway enthusiasts. Under full load, the Inno3D kept core temperature to 61ºC, representing a near-30 per cent decrease over the hot-running Founders Edition.
It keeps pretty quiet in the process, too. You can just about hear the two fans when heat starts to build, but neither is particularly distracting. The Inno3D is cool and quiet, and that's just the way we like it.
