Hello,
I am trying to find out how many amps my X1900GT is using.
In ATITOOL , when the card is Idle using raised voltages and
at the 3D clocks : 575/600 it's drawing 10.9 Amps.
When I stress test it with the ATITOOL artifact cube at these speeds:
671/780 , it jumps to 35.5 Amps.
If I raise it to 720/840 it jumps to 35.5 Amps.
I verified this in Riva Tuner , and Riva Tuner shows the same amperage.
So my question is how many amps is the GPU actually using , cause 40Amps for the GPU
is ridiculous.
Note.: Also I check the wattage my whole pc uses at idle and load with my X1900GT at stock and it was pulling like 75 watts.
Once I overclock the X1900GT at 720/840 it pulls about 80 Watts which makes sense,
since that's what it's spec'd at.
