ASUS ENGTX480-2D1-1536 Geforce GTX 480 Videocard Review
ASUS ENGTX480-2D1-1536 Geforce GTX 480 Videocard Review - PCSTATS
NVIDIA does stress that the Geforce GTX 480 is more than just a gaming card however. It's the first videocard to use NVIDIA's Fermi architecture, which is a radical departure from the design of previous Geforce videocards.

Videocard Power Consumption

Here's how this videocard stacks up in real life against a various other videocards for power draw. PCSTATS measures total system power draw and compares that in 3D loaded (max value recorded in 3DMark06) and idle states (at Windows desktop). The power supply used in each test is an A-PFC compliant PC Power and Cooling 750W model.

Under load the ASUS ENGTX480-2D1-1536 system doesn't draw the most power of the single-GPU videocard configurations tested here (that distinction goes to the original 90nm Geforce 8800GTX) it's still significantly more than any of the other videocards in the Radeon HD 5000-series of videocards or previous Geforce 200-series videocards.
