Thermaltake has announced its new Purepower Power Express 250W dedicated power supply for graphics cards. With today's SLI and CrossFire cards requiring more and more juice, this dedicated PSU takes some of the load off your system's power supply.

Looks like they just beat FSP to the punch! Sneaky bastards...

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Makes me wonder if FSP is supplying Thermaltake with those units.

It's a neat idea, but I'd be just as happy GPUs would start bundling an external power brick.

yeah, but I wonder if you could manufacture a power brick capable of delivering 300W of power? That would be awesome if you could, and make the power supply external to the PC for more convenience.

Yeah, the only thing I wonder about though is that FSP's unit is 300w while the Tt one is only 250w. So who knows. Should still be interesting either way to see how this idea is accepted by the market...

Well, according to X-Bit Labs...
Quote:
Given that maximum power consumption of a modern high-end graphics card, such as ATI Radeon X1900 XTX or Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX 512, is 120W and 95W respectively, a 300W power supply will work even for those demanding a multi-GPU system.
So, in theory, two full loaded, overclocked X1900XTX's should be able to take full advantage of the 300 watts...
