high wattage usage
Hello :O)
I replaced my video card on my Core I3 system today from gtx460 to hd6850 OC (Factory clocked core 820MHZ instead of 775MHZ) and noticed in my APC UPS that wattage usage in idle mode is around 225W. In the previous card, Wattage usage was around 175W and on load it went to around 250W. On this card it's 225W and on load it doesn't change at all......
I wondered if something in the latest ATI drivers need to be changed, Although overdrive info shows that core drops to 300MHZ on idle.....)
