Hi All

I've recently started playing early access game Bodycam which uses the Unreal Engine 5 game engine. I was monitoring power draw temps etc and noticed a very high power draw.

I maxed at 535 Watts at the GPU, 140 FPS, GPU Temp 65 and Hotspot 87, game settings were set to Elite. Would you say this power draw would be within the acceptable limits of this card or do i have a potential problem. GPU is totally stock no tweaks etc.

You are talking about a custom OC 7900 xtx and not stock 7900 xtx, right?

The stats were taken from MSI Afterburner

No its a reference card and this power consumption only happens with this particular game. Ive had to enable VSYNC otherwise i get really bad coil whine. COD4, BFV, BF2042 are all played at max quality settings and i have no issues.

A reference 7900 XTX has two 8-pin PCIe each rated for 150W and another 75W via the slot, for a theoretical max power draw of 375W.

Are you seeing similar power spikes in Adrenalin or only in Afterburner? Are they transient or sustained at that level?

Attached image is from Afterburner. I'll log the stats from Adrenaline later and post.

There seems to be a discrepancy between Adrenaline and Afterburner. Afterburner is reporting 100W extra however ive got it so the card is only pulling 300W-350W by adjusting the settings. To be honest this is an early access game im playing so there are going to be issues.

Like you said, that seems like 100w too high. I would compare with power usage from Adrenaline monitoring because that does not seem right.
