I need someone that has the card and owns it. Because in the internet I see some charts say it drains max 375 at full load and some say it drains 400

TechPowerUp also has extensive power usage charts for the 290. Their Peak and Maximum power draws are right in line with Guru3d.

The most important chart is the "Average" power consumption chart, which they define as:
"•Average: Crysis 2 at 1920x1080, Extreme profile, representing a typical gaming power draw. Average of all readings (12 per second) while the benchmark was rendering (no title/loading screen)."
