Power consumption was measured from the wall socket directly from the computer. Idle was taken after 5 minutes into the Windows desktop and Load was tested emphasizing gaming performance and the video card in Crysis' GPU demo.
Again ATI not only is best in performance but in power consumption with PowerPlay likely helping quite a bit when idle.
Temperatures were measured in the same spot, just above the fan on the heatsink. Once at idle and once after four loops of Crysis' GPU demo measured in Farenheit.
This card can definitely get hot but luckily not quite as bad as the 4870X2.
