REVENGE Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It seems that the best "news and rumors" these days have been the those regarding next generation video cards. But seriously, what could possibly top the fantastic news that a certain GPU requres more than 300W of power to work? How about another certain GPU that'll have more than 500 million transistors? Oh well, guess nobody cares since we have 'em 1 kw power supplies floating around anyway. Enjoy the good news. And the electric bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It should be less power consumption and cheaper electric bill Guess I'm scared to go on desktop from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franzy Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 i heard the r600 had something like a 250W power consumption. Not that its much better anyways lol... The Nvidia G80 is supposed to be Nvidia's DX10 card. It has over 300W (320-350?) power consumption and the cooling will either be water or a massive air cooling. Bottomline? I'd say stay away from DX10 cards (and Vista) for 1/2-1 year until they both become stable and reasonable in every way possible (power consumption, security, price, performance).

GeeksHaveFeelings Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 And also, NV G80 has 700 million transistors. http://vr-zone.com/?i=4007 According to GPU Review, an 8800 will be out next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
