The 30w power requirement is for the whole computer, not just the video card. The current high end cards on the market have very similar requirements, so shut up if you don't know what you are talking about.

Wow 30w for a whole pc :wtf: Think you meant amps hurry go change it before some dumb butt see's it and post a replie with that in it HeH

you could very well be right Tory/newtekie, but the second power dongle makes it seem suspicious, why is it there I wonder when we can power our cards today with 1 dongle.

It will be a while till it is actually released, someone should e-mail Nivida and ask them, I will.

An X1950XTX consumes 'a maximum of 125Watts'. So the 8800 will consume a bit more, according to specs which they never really reach tho.
Not saying that you are wrong, but can you post a reference to your statement?

well i rather intel go back and work thier dual-cores CPU to fully use it's 2nd core rather then rushing to quad-core with shitty dual-core support. Same goes to AMD and Nvidia's quad sli.

Agility - The HW is there, the Software has to be written/optimized. And as long as not 100% of all users use DC it's a very exhausting work I'd imagine. I don't mean 'using both cores' but 'efficiently using both cores'.

All Intel can do is give the hardware that lets them do it(and they have), they can't force software companies to use it.

Yeah, I have already decided that is what I am going to do. I am sticking with my 2.8GHz X2 4400+ and my SLI 7900GTs @ 600/1600 for at least a year, or at least until games won't run on WinXP and DX9 anymore, whichever comes first.

8800GTX is 11 inches, 8800GTS is about as long as an X1900XTX at 23cm.

I would like to throw into the power discussion a handy fact - the absolute maximum this card could draw is 225 watts. The PEG slot is rated to provide 75 watts, and each PEG power plug is rated at 75 watts. 75 * 3 = 225watts MAXIMUM. In reality, total power draw is probably in the neighborhood of 150-175 watts, but i just made that number up.

read the PCI-E/PEG specs ;)

@pics: holy hell, if that massive chunk is the core and not a cap... holy hell O_O

will the OCZ GameXstream 600watt sli/cf be good enuff to run one of theses? it has quad 18 amp rails, I'm guessing its just enough.

Edit: Thought I had posted this already, the 4 rails would have like 56 max amps so 18 +18 = 36 leaves 20amps for the system and maybe some room for an overclock.

I'll prob get one of theses suckers in a years time, hoping my 1900gt will be enough for now.

unfortunatly no. each rail is kept separate, they're not combined. So you'd have 18A for the cpu, 18A for 1st graphics card, 18A for 2nd graphics card and 18A for the drives and periferals.

That's the problem with having many rails. IMO a powerful psu with 2 rails is the best solution.

ah ic, being on a tight build budget, kinda suck I would like gigabyte dq-6 board since it opens up more opportunity (fsb,cf, more ram voltage), but being my first time building a computer its ok. I dotn even know if that card would fit into the case I bought, so hopfully the come out with some other real nice, smaller dx10 cards.

it most certainly could run one of these cards. 18 amps * 12v is 216 watts, which, through the 2 PEG plugs, is well more than needed.
