Hi all! From what I read recently in a MaximumPC it seems that the 6800 is a little bit of a power hog... It shows that the card requires two 5V connectors and at least a 480Watt system power supply. Should Graphics mfg's be getting this crazy??? I realize that they now are virtually thier own self-contained computer, with more transistors than most CPU's, most with 256MB of ram, etc., but, shouldnt there be a better way to deal with this than running a million wires from a high-end-only psu?
