Title: Program for power consumption?
Post by: NINJA-- on August 14, 2011, 10:11:56 PM
Im running two 6970's and a 1000w power supply. Im thinking about getting another but Im not sure if my PSU will be able to handle it. Does anybody know a program that will show my systems power consumption?

This should be a good indicator of what you should expect in power.
Note this doesn't count the other parts in your computer.

NINJA--:

Software estimates of your power consumption can be pretty inaccurate.  The best way to measure is with a physical device like a KILL A WATT (http://www.p3international.com/products/special/P4400/P4400-CE.html).

Darn that would be a nice program to have. Thanks for the info.
