The maximum (theoretical) consumption for geForce 9800 GT and Radeon HD 4850 is 225 W. Remained necessary 75 W are ensured by the PCI express slot .
According to some data, the radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870 cards consume 110 and 160 W of energy (with nominal operating frequencies) . For comparison, the GeForce GTX 260, competitor of HD 4870 , consumes ~182 W of energy. '
'HD4870's TDP is 157W'
'Hardware-Infos claims that a 4870 card will have a TDP of 150W, while 4850 cards will have a TDP of 110W.'
From a few sources, looks like its around 150W either way.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Fan uses 12W...

So a 600 watt power supply will be fine then amirite?
So depending on model, but for one, most probably yes.Stimey wrote:

I have this PSU
I got it because they were discontinuing it, so it was only $50
Looks good enough to power it though?
Got 38A on the 2x6pins

Ah, yeah I've got 3x 18A. I figured you only bothered counting two rails as that's all you're going to be able to stick in the GPU anyway.
My future 80A lol @ u

80A , but at 900W? that's only an extra 8A. how much did that cost you?The_Sniper_NM wrote:

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
Edit: $180, saw yours and accidentally subtracted :\
the ModXstream is Modular, and getting 600W would be insane because I plan to SLI 260s (or next gen equal) later on.
Edit: OCZ ModXstream 900W

Mine's $60 now? Much cheaper than I bought it...
Also, enjoy those 4870s GTX260s.
"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
I consider the rebates, but just use the real price as you may not always get it.
Mines much cheaper as well, it was $250 back in Dec when I first started planning my rig.
Edit: Since you brought it up, I decided to look up how much my rebates will be. Just knocked off $100 my rig without even knowing it.

Yeah...maybe I'll pick a modular model up. It'd be nice.The_Sniper_NM wrote:

Update:
Apparantly 4870 is on average 10% slower than GTX 280.
I love that, mid range part just shy of nvidias high end:
GTX 260 is what it was in real terms meant to go against, it's done that but look how close it gets, $300 that is a steal, GTX 260 is alteast $100 and slower.

Fuck yeah! Ah man I can't wait. And now all I want is an X2...
I think I may jump on the faboy waggon and start saying it will rape the GTX 280. If the single core version is within 10%, even on non crossfire enabled game's it will still hold it's own, but fuck me CF on it's game overghettoperson wrote:

Fact now that I think about it, am sure the 3870X2 had each gpu core overclocked from standard, they might even manage to clock it highly enough that on non CF games it's a dead heat.
I wonder what the nvidia boys are saying about all of this. Even if they drop the GTX 260 by $100 which is a bit embarassing so soon, it still isnt going to be as quick as the competition.
Martyn
I want a 4870X2 so badly!!!
I'll be awaiting benchmarks of the 4870X2 in Crossfire, and the 280GX2 in SLI
That's if they can sort out the drivers and shit.
4 cores.
I never did see how the 3870X2 and 9800GX2 were in crossfire/SLI

@Mek-Stizzle, a dual GPU version of the GTX 280 is a while off dude, as far as january before they get onto 55nm (last I heard) and even then that isnt really enough of a heat saving to make a dual GPU version work. Two 236W cores on the one card, and costing twice the price. Especially if ATi's claim of 500USD for the 4870X2 is true.
Martyn
Might get that for my new PC or maybe I will get the 9800GX2 not shure yet, still wating for the price of quad core to go down a bit more
