What about the power draw of a SLI 580 setup over a CFX 6970 setup? How about the power draw of the previous SLI 480 setup over a CFX 5870 back then?
My belief is that if someone is expecting to spend over a $1000 on a video card setup, chances are that they will have a PSU that is able to compete.
I myself am wondering whether it is a GTX 590 that Brent currently has on his bench as I want to see what it can do!
There is some merit to mention power draw. The card isn't entirely meant for pure enthusiasts, remember it can also be used for people who do not wish to go with CF capable motherboards.
Should Enthusiasts care? no, but there are more then just pure balls-to-the-walls gamers at [H] now too. Its a fair question I think.
I think its good that the [H] still caters to its crowed it garnered so long ago from the 300A overclocking results from Quake2.
