Gaming tests and power consumption
SLI'd and overclocked GeForce 8800 Ultras blaze through our venerable Quake 4 test. The Genesis XOC's graphics subsystem is about as fast as money can buy.
SLI scaling in Lost Planet: Extreme Condition isn't amazing...
...but it is in Company of Heroes. Bear in mind that running Windows XP will take away the potential visual benefits of DX10.
Power
| System | Ultraviolet Genesis XOC/td> | PC Specialist Apollo Q6600-X | HEXUS E6700 GTX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power-draw at idle | 372W | 185W | 190W |
| Power-draw with all cores subject to Prime95 torture | 449W | 249W | 235W |
| Power-draw with Prime95 and 3DMark06 looping | 515W | 275W | 288W |
The power-draw figures, as measured at the mains, highlight why Ultraviolet has chosen a high-wattage PSU. We'd be hard-pushed to engineer a consumer desktop system that would draw a great deal more power, really.
