Great info, thanks for that:thup:

No wonder we had such a tough time keeping the 480 cool, hottest single GPU card across the whole GT series
 
great info, Thanks.

So from a quick glance it seams the 560ti gives the best bang for power usage. The increase in performance vs power to the 570 makes a 560ti even better. Or are my quackulations off?
 
Nice..thanks! Where did u take this list from?

Thank you! Glad you guys like it...

I got it from the GPU review site.. I just grabbed manually each one and entered them in... I just saw a request for a video card power question, thought it would be cool to have a complete list handy just in case its asked again...

EDIT: I added Newegg links to the cards themselves... If available.

Nice list.

A few questions though. I take it this is the Max power draw for these cards?

Any info on idle wattage?

Also, I have the an ASUS GT520 Silent for my Linux Mint machine. I see that it (not the ASUS model specifically) has the lowest power draw. Any info on what the power draw for fanless models of this and other cards are?

Mind you I'm not complaining, just suggesting additional info for a more complete list.

Thanks again.
