nvm i'll rather use an older card like the 7000 series or 8000 series, 9800 GX2 uses MOST of the power from the power supply. bad for ur power supply, bad for the environment and bad for your wallet.
u need a power supply that atleast 500Watts to run that bad ass mother fucker

it's a smaller process, it uses LESS power than the 8800 and 7800's.
2x8800gts draw more power than 1x9800gx2

Ok, I have to admit, that's pretty damn sweet.
I always knew the 8800's were power devourers, but I didn't think two of them would guzzle more than the 9800GX2.
