When graphics cards produce a lot of heat, that heat usually needs to be transported away from the hot core as fast as possible. Noise Levels coming from the graphics card Though the design of the cooler will push hot air out of your PC, obviously, always make sure you have a very well ventilated PC.

That piece of software is a GPUs worst freakish nightmare. That is fairly impressive, mind you that we stress the GPU with FurMark, it won't get much worse than that software wise. Temperatures will idle as low as 34 degrees C (93F) with an 72 degrees C (162 F) load temperature. The GeForce GTS 250 as a dual slot product will show pretty decent temperatures due to the nature of the Arctic Cooling solution equipped on it. We measure at a room temperature of 21-22 Degrees C, look at the idle temperature and then load the GPU 100% for a couple of minutes and measure the temperature once a second and follow the temperature delta. Let's have a look at the temperatures these cards produce. PSU overload can cause it to break down.spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC.Things that can happen if your PSU can't cope with the load?: There are many good PSUs available, over the years we reviewed a lot of them and have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there, have a look. Notice that the card uses 6-pin power connectors. Also recommended is 32 AMPs on the 12 volt rails for stable power distribution (on a single card configuration). In my view the card series requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system, and I think that's barely on the safe side. Power consumption is on par with any modern mid-range graphics card.

System with GPU in FULL Stress = ~353 Watts.

Our normal system power consumption is much higher than your average system. When you take everything into account, I'd say on average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to these settings and added CPU overclock. The ASUS motherboard allows adding power phases for stability, which we enabled as well. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). It's Core i7 965 / X58 based and overclocked to 3.75 GHz. Sidenote: we recently upgraded our test-platform, which by itself utilizes a lot of energy. From a performance versus wattage point of view, the power consumption is pretty good with the new 55nm products. Bear in mind that you are not looking at the power consumption of the graphics card, but the consumption of the entire PC. We look at the recorded maximum WATT peak and that's the bulls-eye you need to observe as the power peak is extremely important. The methodology is simple: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. We'll now show you some tests we have done on overall power consumption of the PC. The card will work straight out of the box.

We install our driver, reboot and you should be good to go. Once the card is installed we startup Windows. That PSU is an extremely important component in your PC. Only one 6-pin power converter is included, so your PSU needs to have at least one 6-pin connector at standard. Just slide the card into a free PCIe slot, connect the monitor one of the connectors, connect the 6-pin power connector to the card. Installing the card into your system will be a fairly easy job.
