Now I combine the two supposedly biggest gulps together and finally test Control in Ultra-HD. And I’m a little amazed, because the Big Bang remains absent!
Intel Default (125 Watt / 251 Watt)
What we see is a power consumption curve very similar to the Radeon RX 6900XT! The CPU’s average value of 68 watts is hardly higher than in the run with the RX 6900XT! Even in this situation, a good 650 watt power supply would be sufficient, if you don’t invest an additional 100 watts in lights and other stuff.
The CPU’s curve is of course bouncy and the 68 watts measured as a long-term value conceal quite nicely that it can actually almost always go significantly higher. It’s still up to 240 watts, though even the 150-watt mark isn’t a true exception. On the contrary.
The zoom proves this quite clearly and you can see what happens when the CPU is sent into the race.
If we take a closer look at this curve, it becomes even clearer.
“Tower Air Cooler with 288 Watt Limit
If you think sparks are gonna fly now, you’re wrong. Once again, it doesn’t get much more than just under 70 watts for the CPU as a long-term average, the rest remains as usual. In this reading of gaming, raising PL1 or PL2 would surely be completely pointless.
This is also very clearly shown by the display reduced to the CPU. It is what it is, but it’s not getting any worse.
Even the zoomed display can’t really scare you and you almost always stay well below 700 watts as a very short peak value that has little or no relevance for power supply shutdown.
Also, I’ll put the single graph for the CPU next to it and we’ll see what I mean.
