Power usage of most current cards

[PoppaGeek]

In case ya did not see it in the News (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=246032) forum here is a list (http://www.hardware.fr/articles/781-5/dossier-vraie-consommation-73-cartes-graphiques.html) of most current cards and how much power they draw in 3D. Move cursor over chart to change sorting.

EDIT:
With the 240 drawing 52-75 watts, depending on model, and consistently doing 2 WUs a day for SKGiven (http://www.gpugrid.net/hosts_user.php?userid=22036) and selling for $99 and under, it is looking like a good choice for economy crunching. I have seen them for as cheap as $69 without rebates. Two of them would draw less power than a GTX 260 216, 150 watts compared to 184 watts, and produce as many WUs.

Good find PG! Thx for sharing it. :up:

Yup that 240 looks like a good deal for crunching. If two of those could be snagged for $70 each, that would put it less cost than a 260-216, with less total draw than a 260-216.
