It doesn't make sense.
I know that the next graphics card I'll buy will not be a top end card mostly because of this ridiculous power consumption.
Considering I already own an x1900 XTX, and my sys does heat up my room when I play a game, I'd hate to see what this new one will do. I'll have to install air conditioning!
