Nvidia gets leaky with GT

NVIDIA'S CHOSEN PRESS patsies are heading out to Satan Clara tomorrow, preparing for two days of presentations, drinking and general brainwashing. Many of them have already had their hands on 8800 GT cards for days or even weeks now - but, being good little boys, they are all playing by the green team's rules and holding off on the news and the reviews until next Monday.
But those kind of tactics just don't work with those crazy Far Eastern types, the ones who don't need Nvidia's 'access' to get face time with production boards and don't really need to use much English to convey benchmark results. It's no surprise, then, that we've seen one of the first (of many, to be sure) early leaks of comprehensive 8800 GT numbers.

Re: Nvidia gets leaky with GT

Man, what a vile-filled news story from the underdog patsies. Really makes me want to click on that link (not).

Re: Nvidia gets leaky with GT

As a resident of Santa Clara I'm always annoyed when they call it "Satan Clara". Do you know that according to the city website we get an average of 300 days of sunshine per year?

Anyways, the 8800GT looks sweet, but I don't understand their power figures on that site. I'm curious how much more juice it uses compared to my 7950GT.

You would think with the die shrink it would use less power?

Re: Nvidia gets leaky with GT

I believe the RV670 has the 8800GT's number in all categories.

Holy COW, That's just too much power for a video card to consume! Then again, I've been completely out of the computer scene for a while.

BTW: I'm back!

Those numbers are of the system power consumption, not the video card alone.

Well, I guess that's not bad. I remember the prescHOT CPUs drew over 100w for themselves. So, 300w actual power drain is good for the whole puter. I wonder what the card eats on it's own?
