1KW PSU ... you say that as if its "WOW we've never seen that before" ... Endgadget your great on tech...but stay away from the PC Enthusiast market ... its like listening to my grandad say "Oh in my day" .... anyone with an SLI rig has had more than 800W for the last few years...and if this was based on the G92 architecture then it would of required a minimum of 1500W ... so overall power consumption for ludicrous rigs has come down....
@Jaster Perhaps you should actually try reading it properly. "... fun facts that a 1 Kilowatt PSU provided insufficient power for NVIDIA's hardware..."
@dzeikei sorry thats my northern english accent...at the end of the day i'm a hardware analyst and my written/typed english isn't too great ... but then again I never said it was....
@Jaster the thing is, 3 radeon use about 600... 3 nvidia double that. thats the issue, and the nvidia make noise like an airplane taking off. Overall this new card does not impress at all. it would have been a good ribal if it was out

Overall this new card does not impress at all. it would have been a good ribal if it was out at the same time as the radeon card, but its so late now and underperforming for the time. sorry nvidia, you lost this one
@choufleur47 hmmm 2 radeons in 2 way xfire source 591 watts under load according to every review I've read ... so add another 50% at least and your near ... you have to remember this talks about total system watts not just the graphics cards although the graphics cards probably source a good 75% of this....this would roughly be the same as the firmi series (GT400) ... the problems I've read are not power consumption...because oc'ers and enthusiasts are not really bothered about performance to watt ratio...but the heat these things kick out when oc'd is enormous and they only lead the 5000 series when oc'd...I wouldn't buy one until we see those temps down ... and the price ... radeon's are still ruling the roost although the teselation shown in the GT400 series is far superior its a long way off us actually seeing it within games...don't believe me...check toms and oc3d...
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.

@slee62 sorry i did mean 1.2kw ...
@Jaster
...it would of required...
"Would OF" doesn't make sense... why do people write that?? That's not just matter of misspelling or bad grammar but simply the WRONG WORD
@dzeikei sorry thats my northern english accent...at the end of the day i'm a hardware analyst and my written/typed english isn't too great ... but then again I never said it was....
@Jaster at the end of the day you're sleeping in your parents' basement.
@amneziac yeah with yer mum ...
