| General Benchmarks | ||
| Power Consumption | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record system-wide mains power draw both when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Temperature | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Noise | A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Overclocking | Maintaining out-the-box voltage, we use the Precision X1 Scanner Tool to determine an optimal frequency curve while applying a manual memory overclock | |
