How do I find out my GPU's power draw?

[Corrosion]

I have a gaming laptop and I'm curious as to what is the total power draw of the GPU. Knowing that might help explain performance on something...

But, I see no clear way of finding GPU TGP? Any help would be appreciated.

HWInfo64 or HW Monitor will show your power draw, amongst other things, in real time.

Oh cool! So it'll be able to show my max TGP for my GPU?

It should, unless you have some crummy OEM build (HP, Acer, Dell) that is very restricted on sensors.

The recent versions of MSI Afterburner also tracks this data in real time now.

Use the GPUZ app, it will show all needed info.

Where in GPU-Z? I see no TGP....

Sensors tab board power draw

Another option would be a killawatt meter to show total power draw of the laptop in different situations, software may not always be accurate.

That will give you the total system draw, yes, but you won't be able to get the draw of the GPU specifically.

It also shows total power being pulled at the wall, but due to less than perfect efficiency, it's not a very helpful number if you're looking for power needs of a given individual part.

Many parts also publish TDP numbers, but these, too, can be pretty off the mark some of the time.

It depends on what reason(s) OP is wanting to know the power draw on what methods may work best.
