Review: Neoseeker
_______________
Something was made wholly evident to me quite recently. In our not so long ago review of the XFX 8800 GTX XXX video card (probably the fastest video card on the planet right now), the power consumption levels had peaked at just a shade under 300 Watts. In fact, while I was performing the power consumption testing for that particular card, the entire system including the XXX had actually hit 300 Watts for about a second. Now if you consider that running two of these cards in SLI could draw ~450W Watts or more , a third XFX XXX for running physics, a huge honking RAID array, optical drives, fans, and an aggressively overclocked processor, it can be expected that your electrical bill is going to rise.
