Maximum power efficiency through low power target
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:45 am
Hey guys,
assume that you want to achieve maximum FPS per Watt for 1440p (assume a average 60+ fps target) gaming with cost being irrelevant.
Cards such as the new GTX 1060 seem to be a good candidate for the power efficiency king here but...
Would I have a more power efficient card if I took a GTX 1080 and lowered the power target to 120 Watts?
Can any GTX 1080 owner in here try that? I am really curious about the results of this experiment.
If lowering the power target of a 1080 would give you a better power efficiency than a 1060 then we might have a nice way of keeping our systems cooler and thus more quiet... albeit at a higher price.
Any constructive argumenation for or against this idea is welcome.
Thanks for reading
