| General Benchmarks | ||
| Power Consumption | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record system-wide mains power draw both when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Temperature | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Noise | A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Total War: Warhammer II. | |
| Overclocking | Maintaining out-the-box voltage, we increase the card's power target and aim for an optimal balance of core and memory overclock. | |
Notes
We have transitioned testing over to our latest platform encompassing all-new components. In the main, the big changes are a move to a Core i7-8700K overclocked to an all-core 4.8GHz whilst memory is set to 3,200MHz.
