The WireView GPU enables the measurement of the power consumption of graphics cards and records this data to determine the power consumption. This data can be used, for example, to determine the electricity costs of a graphics card or to compare the power consumption with other graphics cards. A special measurement cycle over 60 seconds enables the power consumption to be displayed quickly and conveniently, which is very useful for reviews, for example.
At the same time, the power consumption of graphics cards can be determined over a specific period of time or for specific applications by measuring the power consumption. In addition, load peaks in power consumption (“peaks”) that can occur when current high-end graphics cards are in operation can be determined.
The WireView GPU displays the measured values on an OLED display. You can switch between the displayed values at the touch of a button. The following values can be displayed:
- Display of the current power consumption in watts [W]
- Current power consumption in watts [W], current voltage in volts [V], current current in amperes [A]
- Minimum and maximum power consumption in watts [W]
- Average power consumption over 60 seconds [AVG W] and total power consumption [E ]
The WireView GPU is available in "N" and "R" versions regardless of the number of 8-pin PCIe connectors (or 12VHPWR connector). "N" represents the normal orientation of the PCIe connectors on the PCIe expansion card, while "R" represents the rotated (reversed) orientation. The normal (N) orientation has the connector retaining clip pointing away from the expansion card PCB. The rotated (R) orientation has the connector retaining clip facing the PCB.
