750ti using only 35W?

[WhatComesAround]

So I read on another forum that some people found that the 750ti only consumes 35W on load, overclocked. Is this true or was the guy wrong and the card in fact takes 75W. Thanks in advance!

Its not that low, but never does the card break 68 Watts

That guy is high on something. 750 Ti uses 75W.

I don't know what the total draw is but it can take a max of 75W.

That guy's wrong. 75W.

Under some load it might only take 35W, but that isn't for every load.

Ahh, found the post, http://www.overclock.net/t/1471746/750-ti-folding-numbers  as it seems most of you disagree while some say the cards ARE efficient but not THAT efficient in all cases. So I guess the card doesn't pull a max of 35W but in some cases these cards do take pretty low amounts of power.

My laptop has a 860M (750 TI rebrand). It's 60W for the core. the rest is RAM and leakage.

"On load" is so generic. What kind of load are we talking about? 10% load? 30%? 70%?

Here are some numbers with the card under full load: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-20.html

Just found this : http://cryptomining-blog.com/1014-how-to-increase-the-geforce-gtx-750-ti-power-target-limit/

According to this the card is limited to 30ish watts, I may be wrong tho, im not really an expert in this field

Try download random 750 ti bios online and use it with Maxwell bios editor to confirm. I can't do it right now because I'm on phone.

Just checked 750 Ti Strix BIOS download from TPU and TDP was set at 38.5w PCIE rail also limited to 38.5w, this card come with 6pin power connector.

Maybe i read it wrong because it only have 3 power tables.

30 watt? it would be more potato than 750Ti i say.

Well according to one article it is limited to 38.5W, and modding the bios apparently, would make a very small difference to the performance. Id say however if the card truly is limited to 38.5 W the benefit of modding the bios should be huge. heres the article : http://cryptomining-blog.com/1014-how-to-increase-the-geforce-gtx-750-ti-power-target-limit/

That makes 0 sense as there are 750 Tis with 6-pin connectors which give the card 150W to work with.

im no expert so dont judge me harshly but im guessing just because the 750ti is given 150w to work with, that doesnt mean they use all of it, nor all of the 60w. And not all 750ti's come with 6 pin connectors. I believe the evga 750ti sc doesn't, I dont know if there are others but im sure that one doesnt.

Thing is - it makes 0 sense for the 960 (which has 2 times more cores) to use 5 times more power. The 750 Ti's GPU core uses 60W. Else, laptops would get 2 hours of gaming rather than 1 on battery.

Well isnt the 960 a lot more powerful than the 750ti? (I am not arguing just trying to get a better understanding)

960 is around twice as powerful, has twice the compute units and draws twice the power. What you are saying is that the 960 draws 4-5 times the power

The card pulls more than 38.5W. Way more.

I know, in fact mine pulled almost 100w on the wall after oc.

He just assumed BIOS have total control the card power limit without testing it.
