Graphic Cards Power consumption of GPUs ...

[PoBoy]

Where can I get info on the power consumption of graphics cards ? Is there anything like a "TDP" for GPUs ? Specifically 7300GT (128bit) and 7600GT.
Might be getting a eVGA card from US ( $89 and $109 resp. ).

This is kinda outdated and you might have seen it already, but you'll get a fair idea...

7600GT et lower are not power hogs a 350 watts PSU should do the trick.

yeah, check the amps on the 12V line, 18A is recommended be EVGA for 7600GT

Thanks guys. Going for the 7600GT. Idle=15W, Peak3D=36W.

Hoping to get a Antec NSK4400, 380W - depending on Mr Vinod of AntecIndia !
