WireView test:

So, to test our copy of the WireView 12VHPWR Normal, we’re going to use different software, i.e. GPU-Z, FrameView version 1.4.9419 and the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare III integrated benchmark. Here’s the configuration we used:

  • Motherboard: ROG Maximus Z690 APEX
  • Processor: Intel Alder Lake i9-12900K
  • Memory : 32 GB Corsair Vengeance 5200 CL38 DDR5
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition
  • Cooling system : ROG Ryujin II 360 from Asus
  • SSD: Western Digital Black SN750 2 TB EKWB radiator
  • Power supply: Corsair AX1600i adapter 12VHPWR 600W
  • Operating system: Windows 11 64-bit

Our test results:

The idea is to compare the power consumption read by our WireView 12VHPWR Normal and see what GPU-Z shows us with the values read by NVIDIA’s Frameview software.

Before launching the benchmark, we took a look at how GPU-Z and our WireView module were performing. Well, the readings are almost always identical, whatever the situation, whether in a benchmark, in the OS or in another task. So we’re going to run the benchmark and simultaneously take a reading of the data via NVIDIA’s Frameview application.

After several series of tests, we obtained a maximum power consumption of 124.6 watts from GPU-Z, 123 watts from WireView and 122 watts from FramView software. The average is around 108 watts. Values are therefore fairly close, depending on the software used to read them.
