Power and Temperature
Power
When clocked at default, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition has the lowest power draw of all the video cards in our review today. The difference is slim, as you can see, 3 to 6%. When overclocked, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition takes power right to the edge of its designated TBP. The PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 GRE is the most power-hungry of the bunch; as you can see, a 22% difference…..those rabbits get hungry.
Temperature
This graph nicely demonstrates what ASUS has put into the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition heatsink design. Only a one-degree difference in temperature at overclock, and the fans remain at default settings. All in all, there is a pretty tight grouping here. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is the outlier.
