How many runs were done?

As many know, Vantage peaks in several different areas; many of which are less than a second long and may not be picked up by a standard power meter.

In addition, CPU usage is a HUGE factor and can increase / decrease number accordingly and in a non-linear fashion.

Looking at that chart, it seems like the calculations for some cards are VERY high while others are low. It could be that the monitor is picking up the areas where CPU + GPU peaks converge in some situations and registering situations of non-convergence in others.
