I did a bit of testing a year or so ago and found that most GPU's used around 75% of the TDP when crunching here. Although I had read in a review that the GF600's were different I was still slightly surprised to see a GTX660Ti purporting (Gigabyte OC Guru and GPUZ) to use 93% of it's 150W reference TDP when crunching. It's at 57°C so temperature wouldn't be an issue. The 1.175V might on the other hand be worth looking at. | |

GTX660Ti + Win7 64, using 69% of TDP at 1254 MHz, 1.175 V. Apparently it's got about a 15% higher TDP than stock cards, though. | |

My Gigabyte GTX 670 OC (@1150MHz, 1.175V, 3 fans are running at 70%, 3600RPM, GPU temp is 55°C; +1 core of a Core i7-970 @ 4.16GHz) is using 150-160W (measured at the 230V AC outlet, the PSU is and Enermax Maxrevo 1500W), according to MSI Afterburner this GPU is using 75% power. The good half of my GTX 690 (@1019-1045MHz, 1.137-1.150V, fan is running at 83%, 2600RPM, GPU temp is 65°C; same config) is using 130-140W, MSI Afterburner shows 93-102% power usage. The GPU usage is 98% on both cards. | |

MrS, it seems your system gets through tasks around 3.5% faster than my similar rig. 4.2GHz/1188 (now varies from 1175 to 1201). Differences explained by clocks. Was 290W at the wall when crunching 6 CPU tasks and 1 GPU task. | |

Wow, that are some consistent numbers! My idle power draw is 60 W, load is ~215 W with no BOINC project running besides GPU-Grid. | |
