| 295152 | 2004-11-23 00:25:00 | techreport.com graphics cards take up alot of power (about 230W) when loading..... lets say a graphics card like gf 6600GT @ 230W with a athlon 3200+ and the basic computer hardware... how much Watts would u need to keep that beast stable? along with all the other basic hardware using their own average power consumption |

| 295153 | 2004-11-23 00:31:00 | Still fairly trivial : One computer I used had a 4000A 5V supply, a Cray 2 used about 30kW, some of the 1000+ processor cluster supercomputers would pull over 250kW. (Plus airconditioning to get rid of the kilowatts). | Graham L (2) | ||

| 295157 | 2004-11-23 00:57:00 | That power requirement was for the total system.The 230W also included the AC/DC conversion losses. XbitLabs has articles nailing just the power used by the video cards. | PaulD (232) | ||
