Review: Gigabyte X99 Ultra Gaming

Power Tests

The X99 Ultra Gaming uses a few more watts at each level. Thinking about the system as a whole, 255W isn't much when we take into account the ultra-enthusiast components used. Of course, this jumps once overclocked, but even then doesn't breach the 400W barrier with a single GPU installed. Makes you wonder at the need for 1,000W-plus PSUs.
