I currently have a GTX 1060 Founder's Edition with a 400 Watt power supply. While playing 1080p content with fairly high madVR settings I am pulling at max about 220 Watts total for my system measuring with Kill-A-Watt. From benchmarks, I've seen from Anandtech that the GTX 1060 FE pulls about 264 Watts while the GTX 1080 FE pulls about 335 Watts under load while running Crysis 3. Would I be safe to replace my 1060 FE with a 1080 FE for madVR duties, and if so, would I get a substantial performance increase in madVR using the GTX 1080 using the same 400 Watt power supply over the GTX 1060?
