Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU - 1x 8-Pin PCIe - Normal

The Thermal Grizzly WireView GPU is a device for measuring the power consumption of PCI expansion and plug-in cards with PCIe power connection. The U-shaped design of the adapter enables optimized cable routing for clean cable management.

What does the WireView GPU do?
The WireView GPU enables the power consumption of PCI expansion and plug-in cards to be measured and records this data in order to determine the power consumption. This data can be used, for example, to determine the power costs of a graphics card or to compare the power consumption with other graphics cards.

By measuring the power consumption, the power consumption of PCI expansion/plug-in cards can be determined over a certain period of time or in certain applications. In addition, power consumption peaks that can occur during operation of current high-end graphics cards can be determined. The WireView GPU displays the measured values on its OLED display.

Why a power meter for graphics cards?
The WireView GPU is particularly interesting for extreme overclockers and hardware reviewers, as it can display the power consumption of a graphics card in real time. But it is also helpful when testing the performance of a graphics card. As no additional software needs to be running to record the power consumption during testing, benchmark results are not influenced by the measurement.

When manually overclocking the graphics card (e.g. with MSI Afterburner, ASUS GPU Tweak, EVGA Precision), the adjustments made in the software can also be checked directly on the OLED display of the WireView GPU in the form of the changed power consumption.

In addition to displaying the power consumption in real time, the WireView GPU saves the measured data in the internal memory in order to record the average consumption of the graphics card over a longer period of time. The stored data can be reset during operation.
