But if you have enough to afford the card, wouldn't you have enough to at least power and cool the damn thing? lol
That's what i have still yet to understand, these are top tier cards you're paying for, now of course this doesn't excuse inefficiencies, but if you're paying for a card like that at least pay for a sufficient amount of power and cooling for it if you're considering a card that costs $350 and up.
On a differnt note, AMD has definitely got a good performance per watt thing going with the 5 series, and i hope it continues to get even better.(and i hope Nvidia follows suit in that regard)
It's not that i can't afford it... i just don't like paying for it

the lower my bills the more money i have to spend on other things, and if my gpu choice can save me near $150 in a year thats proberley 8 or 10 games that are on sale on steam (my pc is on 24/7 so power adds up pretty quick at $0.22 per kw/h).
But i do see your point, but cooling is a pain in the ass as no air con and its a tiny room with no window
