DX10

Seriously use the search button dude. There are so many threads on DX10/G80/R600 its ridiculous. As for requirements, think faster is better :p Lotsa 12V amps is always a good thing too.....

I just used the search button as you suggested, and found about 40 threads with hundreds of posts, none of which dealt with the question the guy asked.

Maybe I just suck at searches or this guy has a good question. I haven't seen suggested requirements for G89 / R600 anywhere.
 
The main requirements for the cards themselves will be a PCIe slot, one to two four pin PCIe power connectors and a power supply that can deliver adequate power on the 12V rail. Current power consumption estimates for top-tier DX10 cards is anywhere between ~200 watts (the 8800 GTS) and 300 watts (the rumoured "X2800 X**"/R600).

From the software perspective, all you'll need is Windows Vista and proper drivers and you're in business.

No search button is needed when my vast wealth of knowledge is on tap.

Like wise... :rolleyes:

We don't know what the power requirement for dx10 cards because there's no previews(reviews)/no cards available... You're trying to estimate a card that hasn't been released, giving false information..

Nothing more than an estimate... Fact is we don't know yet.
 
Is it just me, or has [H] turned into the pre-teen my-brain-is-so-much-better-than-yours forum?

Estimations are not false information. They are merely estimations given current speculation, rumours and known facts (for example, the transistor count of G80 and the fact that leaked photos show two PCIe power connectors). In any case, I made it very clear that the numbers I mentioned were "current power consumption estimates".

Speculations, estimation=no false information

Yep I bashed the hell out of him :rolleyes:


Only kinda hard fact we have is from NVs partners, claiming 500W/30A@12V for a single G80, 800W (!!!) for SLI. As always faster is better for system componentry to minimise bottlenecking.
