Today marks the day that AMD takes back the graphics card performance crown from NVIDIA. The new AMD Radeon HD 5970 comes with two fast Cypress GPUs on a single PCB. Using their latest power saving features, AMD achieved a very modest power consumption for this card which right now is the fastest money can buy.

Idle power consumption on the 5970 is surprisingly good.

Yea, means you can run more in xfire with a smaller psu =D

i'm not talking about a really crappy psu. a moderate one could probably handle a few of these.
Well each one of these pulls around 300W during a full load….

just get a 1000w and you can run two fine. Can't see anyone needing more than two of these. Plus it'll be almost impossibel to get more than two anytime soon.

I hear a few of these can also heat your home 🙂

Forget getting two, one if hard to find as it is.
There not as bad you may think due to the vapor cooler.
At least it's not being wasted =)
That's what i said… it's impossible to get two… can you not read?
