yes, but you forget taht the initial power recomendations for the Ultra/6 series cards did not hold ground due to some last min power tweaking NV was able to make to the NV40 core, and publically said that it would not be the powerhog it was initially reported to be. if the Ultra really consumed 200w, Shuttle people would be a world of hurt with their 250w supplies, which were very mainstream at the time the ultra was released. i believe it was the biggest model avaliable. people were running GT's at 400/1.1 and above with no problems... and this is with 100+ TDP processors running in there too.
