Yea, I think I'll just wait for the 2nd generation.... of ATi's cards for DX10

I'll go with whatever uses the least power. Even that 8800GTS uses alot of power.

Yes Panda, go spend $600-800 on a brand spankin' new DX10 card so you can kill your rival...

Well, the first card I had that needed it's own molex was my 6800GT, and now of course, my 7800GT. But christ! Two connectors?? I guess that means that PSU's are going to need to have special video card cables in the future with these cards. I just hope the stock fans on these cards are more quiet than the one that I replaced on my 78 - that thing was LOUD!

Well, this nidbit indicates that maybe these aren't totally outragous power hogs compared to an X1900XTX (which is pretty power hungry already). Their entire test system with the 8800GTX only used 13 more watts than the X1900XTX at full load. So while this doesn't seem too out of line, any video card that needs two PCI-Express power connectors just seems crazy. Plus the sheer size of this thing is about out of control.

Well it barely fits in a Thermaltake Armor, which is flat out disturbing because the Armor is one of the hugest cases EVER...
