x1800xt wattage?

[the]

anyone have any heat wattage cahrt for the x1800 series? i do so adore the amperage meter they give you, that made me chuckle. but serio9uley i was thinking of pulling out some of my old tec's for this, as i dont think a regule cpu heatsink will doo me much good. i want to shot for jsut above dew point if i can, but hate playing tiral and error games. any charts or bet guesses out there im all ears. thnx

I dont have a chart or know what the wattage is but the formula to find watts from amps is, amps X volts = watts.

So if your getting 10amps and using 12volts then the wattage is 120. Im pretty sure thats how it goes if im wrong please someone correct me.

cant find reviews now, but im sure it was somewhere at 110+W under load, thats with STOCK settings of course.

hooooooooo 110 watts? ouch. the amp meter in ati too calls a 24.5 amp pull underload, so that means its a 4.4 volt pull gpu? my opty 175 is a 1.3 volt pull :D can anybody verify if any of these numbers are correct?

Here's a link to the Anandtech site reviewing the 7800GTX 512 that has a couple of charts idle and load power consumptions. The X1800 XT is there aswell as a couple of other cards. Hope it helps!
