Power savings and performance are two terms that had never gone hand in hand. The past few years, however, have shown us some amazing improvements in both fields, bringing them closer together than they have been before. Unfortunately for power-saavy enthusiasts, the greediest items of any high-end PC are going to be the video cards. Especially now with SLI and Crossfire, video cards have very quickly replaced processors as power-thirsty beasts, with a single card drawing 150W under load and even higher. With more and more laptops featuring very powerful GPUs, it's seen even more.
