the 470 is just about like the 5870 for 50-70 usd cheaper win...whine all you want

Well lets wait for some more reviews.

Were we looking at the same reviews? Also, the 5850 is $50-70 cheaper than the GTX470 and also OC's past 5870 speedsOriginally Posted by cowie

150W more than a 5870 is an absolute joke, no matter how you look at it. That's some serious heat it's going to be putting out, and an expensive way to play games.I do not play often but i like fast single Gpus in case i do.

I was about to do that myself with the offline cache I've download, so cheers for them links
I just looked at thought and thought it was FPS and thought 'DAMN, Upgrade time!!!!' ......power draw
:0
Then I read that it was power draw .........
....
You should do that, cause there are missing images.. (I think)I was about to do that myself with the offline cache I've download, so cheers for them links
Anyone who drops $400/500 for a graphics card couldn't care less about power consumption...
Yeah, it's honestly a complete non-factor to me.
All the numbers are great but, hell, THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN watt difference from idle to load... Jesus. The 5970 which is faster by a considerable margin doesn't suck that much.

With the 90+ temps shown in that review, how much OC headroom can we expect from fermi? We know that 5xxx series cards can clock to 950+ pretty easy, can a gtx480 still compete then. Judgeing from the temps I would say no, unless your using xtreme cooling. Water may do so good though.

c'mon, I want to see some 470 SLI benches.
also, 80w between cards when it comes to system power consumption?

From what I've read at the eVGA forums, they are planning on releasing SC, SSC and FTW versions of it, so...With the 90+ temps shown in that review, how much OC headroom can we expect from fermi?

Errr... the most I see people usually claim as stable who have owned the card a few days or more is around 900, and 925-935 with a volt tweak running very hot, on forums. The ones claiming 950+ usually come back awhile later and say "Oh yeah, it wasn't actually stable at that". So yeah I guess if you just want to quickly bench it can clock that, easily.With the 90+ temps shown in that review, how much OC headroom can we expect from fermi?

So is a 1500 watts going to be enough for overclocking a quad sli config?
Or should I have gotten a larger power supply, or should I get a second one?
trying to be funny aye?
1,2k should be enough,,
hope this works!

Yeah, I was a little, but I really did buy a 1500 watt psu for a system I am putting a quad sli 480's in, because I thought that the 1200 watt one could really limit my overclocking. It will be using a 1/2 hp chilled recirculater for cooling, and I figured that these cards could really pull some current when overclocking them, when they are not held back by heat.
That's a foolish thing to say. Anyone buying a $4-500 card is most likely OCing it. Power consumption is important for OCing since it lets you know how much headroom you have. That's a lot of heat and power.
it adds up fast for people who are paying 15c+ per KWH, i saved alot switching from a 2900 to 4850, performance wasnt that different, but since im keeping it over a year, its like a free upgrade.
for simple math
200W difference under load, 15 hours a week, 4 weeks per month at 15c per KWH, thats 1.8$
add in 50W difference under idle, 40 hours a week, 4 weeks per month at 15c per KWH, 1.2$
so 3$ per month, if u keep the card a year u can save 36$. since the average is like 12c per KWH in america some people really dont need to care, but others who are seeing 20c per KWH, its very worth it to notice. keep in mind too, if u OC the crap out of a 5850, u might as well buy the 5870 and leave it at stock since u can shave off the difference in price by the cost in power.
point is, no need to say its never worth it, with some people paying double for electricity than others, it really is a case by case basis.
Hexus brought a nice gift:

It's even more hungry than a HD5970.
Thanks Hexus for a proper review.
