the 8800 cards require 2 pci-e connectors for 1 card.That means for sli u'll need 4 pci-e connectors.Hello Tagan and PC Power and Cooling.And not to mention the enermax galaxy.
But based on raw specs it'll decimate all current cards in terms of performance.I wonder how much it'll cost?

300w is just too much...

That's retarded, some people gotta pay for utilities too!

I just bought a 7900gt card for $250, and it blazes through all my games, I doubt I'll be upgrading any time soon. Wouldn't even have upgraded to this card actually, but I sold my 6600gt for $150.

Well nVidia could surprise us all, the card may not be that big a power hog but judging by the direction GPU manufacturer's are going.... it'll be as bad as all that
