    The biggest power-hog wasn't the GPU but the GDDR5. You could save much energy when you downclock the RAM down to 200 MHz. IIrc the consumption decreased by 20 Watt in IDLE after downclocking.

    That's why you should always have a notebook to surf teh interwebz and do office-tasks. I don't want to know how many do such things with a i7... Energy-costs don't seem to be high enough me thinks
