i simply said the GTX280 is a power hungry monster, and maybe all that power consumed will be well worth it due to monstrous performance :up:
i just hope ati gets the 4870 out in time, it would royally suck if they delayed it for another two months or so. 4850 does look ok, but isnt anything spectacular:shakes:
ahh great stuff :) im just in the process of choosing new hardware so ill defo wait for these!!! thanks guys
Please dont start that again, lets just talk about GTX280 only in this thread.Quote:

I am almost positive nVIDIA provided him with the information, he is up there with the cool cats.
And GPU-Z does detect clock changes and your current clocks.
512bit is what attracts me to the GT280, but the price :down:
Probably the card only draws 150W from power but also releases 80W of heat(or something like this)
The card looks very positive in every way except for the price :(
Total board power is 236watt, 150watt is probably the GPU alone.Quote:

ohh here we go again, just stop posting about ati. period. your word on ati holds so little value these days its not even worth your time to do so. Yes the r600 was a power hungry child in a monster costume, but no one said it wasn't, and the competition between ati and nvidia wasn't as heated as it is now, especially where price/performance and heat levels are starting to mean a lotQuote:

The dual-PCB 9800GX2 pulls only 180w. I don't know why there's so much misinformation and misunderstanding about power consumption. It's like some great conspiracy to sell expensive PSU's or something.
That's just the card itself - it's still more than any other out thereQuote:
