How do NVIDIA video cards compare to each other in terms of power consumption? I've read that Geforce1 is a real juice-guzzler at peak. Geforce2 is supposed to draw 1/2 as much, and Geforce2MX as little as half that again. Is this correct?
What about the Geforce2 Ti and Gefroce4MX. They had the die shrunk to .015m so they should draw less juice, right? Geforce3 are .015m too but have much higher transistor count than Geforce2, so are they more power hungry than Geforce2 .018 or less?
What about cards with other chipsets?
 
Anybody? Any idea where I could get datasheets detailing this info at least?
