    Me. We shouldn't need that kind of hardware ideally. Next gen of graphics will hopefully be a lot more efficient. Personally I wouldn't mind if performance of the next gen wasn't much of an improvement as long as we get some sensible power reqs. I know not everybody will agree with me there though.
    <eMesreveR>Do "girls" ever appear outside the Internet? Can i randomly encounter them?
    <Aleph-One>I believe they are a fabrication. Most of the evidence would suggest that they were created in a studio during the Cold War to display our industrial superiority over the Soviet Union.

    A better designed pot would help, but then it needs to be a lot better.
    Looks like we need to put some real engineers on the job to create a new POT.

    me. unless you're ln2 benching, that system won't really draw more than 600-700W top.

    ATI recommends 750W PSU for R600 CrossFire setup.
    Just two GPUs consum ~ 440W w/o overclocking.

    explain to me where you're getting the other 300W or so? last time I checked it's all but impossible to max out the memory chipset and CPU simiultaneously. I've seen a few reviews where a largely stock single CF system drew ~ 400W. If you're stock voltage OCing you probably won't have issues with a high quality 600W PSU(PCP&C tends to underrate their units for example). Not that I'd personally restrain myself with one, I'd just buy according to my needs.

    R600 XFire, X6800, 2GB RAM and single 7200rpm HDD draws over 500W in Oblivion on high-res and so-so eye-candy. Change CPU to quad-core and put this rig on F@H and consumption will be enormous.

    R600 is quite OK when running stock, it just accelerates like no other when you raise the voltage and frequencies
