| Wow, insane power consumption! Luckily their entry level HD 2xxx videocards consume a very low amount of power (< 45W for midrange and < 25W for low end if I'm not mistaken). Saddly, they suck.

| midrange which should deliver (I hope) X1950XTX performance levels, doesn't need extra power connectors. Look at that MAD OC by NordicHardware, they used LN2 to cool the GPU, overclocked from 750Mhz to 1144! http://www.nordichardware.com/Reviews/?skrivelse=510
