VIdeo Card Power Comsumption - interesting info

For those that wondered about how many watts your video card was consuming which is a good indicator of how warm or cool it might run, check out these articles:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...-nv-power.html

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...ption2006.html

It turns out a lot of the Power Calculators out there are listing a lot higher comsumption than the cards can actually pull. Plus most of us will not be using the 3D engines the cards will almost be idling most of the time which tends to cut the power consumption in half. All pretty interesting.

If anyone has anymore articles, please post them.
Thanks.
