Techreport has 5870 using 319 and 253 W in their reviews (first being the one of GTX480 and the latter being review of 290X). Fermi is using 424W and 290X 346W, differences: 105W and 93W. So the pendulum swings both ways and the conclusion could only be: the difference isn't big enough to argue about. Fermi and 290X has about the same power draw. As for acoustics, according to techreport, the winner is GTX480 by a fraction (49,9dB to 50,1dB). However, the 5870 had a load noise level of 51,0dB in that review and only 49,1 in the 290X review. In all comparisons I've used ?ber mode. If not the clear winner in power would be 290X and in acoustics it would also be a slight victory for AMD.
