Hi people,

Just wanted to know what is the power usage of a 8800GT on full load and idle?

Thanks for the info Donkey

so a 8800GT consumes quite a lot of power and more then a 3870 which consumes like just over 100watts

I found a review by 3dgameman and he says that a 3870 uses 105watts of power on full load, check out the review.
