MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT Gaming X Graphics Card Review

Power Consumption

To test power consumption we will be using a Kill-A-Watt meter. This will measure the entire system power draw at any given moment. We first run an idle test on the Windows 10 desktop at 1 hour of inactivity.

Then we run the AIDA64 system stability test with only the GPU selected, which puts 100% load on the GPU.

Temperatures

For our temperature testing we run two different tests. The first is idle with our system sitting on the Windows Desktop.
