The rated TDP on them are both 250w stock but if I recall correctly, those GTX 480's were closer to 300w at stock clocks. My GTX 580 is supposedly 250w TDP, which i have found hard to believe. I use a watt meter from time to time, during normal usage and benching and the numbers I've seen when running it make me
LOL GTXJB tell us how u really feel.

running 3D Mark Vantage with my Fx 8350 @ 52xx Mhz and the GTX 580 oced to 980/2200 with only the voltage Msi AB allows no extra mods. Now that's 821 w from the wall, but you need to take into account the Watt O meter isn't 100% accurate and also the PSU efficiency but still.
How's this for
.... gonna have to get one as im gonna start going higher with 780's clocks thinking i may pull a bit of power myself with fx-9590 and the 2 780s
I can tell you this, I do not think the 9590 at stock is a 220w chip as they say it is. My 8350 at 4.7 on all 8 with 1.46 V is pulling near 400w for the total system under load from the wall. Id bet the 9590 is closer to 300w at stock then it is to 220w.
