So how can i turn that into WATT?

i have a 980Ti and my power is 1000 watt

and in the gpu Z it says my power consumption is 60% TDP, so whats the meaning of this, how much WATT is my 980Ti using?
 
Solution
TDP = Thermal Design Power. This stands for the maximum amount of heat a component can create (which will usually happen at 100% load.

Nvidias reference for the 980 Ti is 250W, so the value in GPU-Z states that your card is pulling 60% of 250W (which is 150W) at that moment.
