The GT300/Fermi Thread

[Nedjo]

Power draw is directly proportional to performance. What I don't get is that, if neliz is right and GTX 380 will draw 300W, then there can't be anything faster than that in the current node and architecture. Whatever they do to castrate Fermi to put 2 of it into 1 card, it must still be 300W. So I am guessing that Fermi won't be 300W but something like 240 or 250W. That way, a dual version might be at least somewhat faster than the GTX 380.

or they can create card that would require completely new ATX power standard, and push it for broad acceptance
