The Fermi Thread - Part 3

*censored* ...... wow..... seriously 850watt for sli 480gtx ??? how much watt does the mobo and cpu get into those figures????

Well you can subtract 851-479 = 372W more for the extra card, assuming nothing else was changed. That's at the wall of course... taking a 0.85 efficiency, that's 316W (at 0.80 efficiency, its 298W). So either way, the cards are drawing WAY over the 250W Nvidia advertised.

Holy moly!
