And 4890 idles at what W?

--cards: 4850 4870 3870X2 GTX280 9800GX2 9800GTX+ 9800GTX
Idle load 123 --149 ---119 --- 127 ----174 ---- N/A ----- 141
Full load 203 --229 ---289 --- 279 ----313 ---- N/A ----- 223

Edit: Actual card consumption here:

A 4890 is slightly less than a 48701gb at idle ~ 45 watts. The anandtech graphs (that i first posted) are total system power consumption. So you have a 4890 @ 43w idle, 121w load, both hexus, xbit, and anand agree the rv770/790 uses ~80w going from 2d-> 3d. And now supposedly, the 5870 @ 30w idle & 195w load (165w between 2d->3d!). Maybe they've fixed the deal with the ram's idle power draw?
Edit again: 80watts for running 800 shaders and 160 watts for 1600?
