I wonder how much power it consumes during idle?

Wow it looks so plain.

good upstart for a Mod card, I wonder with cooling that is sort of like what was found on the 9700 Radeon or even Intel Skulltrail, will the card stay cool enough to where it doesnt draw more power? As Temps rise the more power needed to run a component.

Urg.. disgusting cooler...

Blue is Good. Hercules, Sapphire (Zotach is Nvidia's Sapphire)

They didn't remove the 6-pin PCI-E connector. :( This is why I'm sticking with Palit...

green with pcie power connector for extra juice... :wtf:

for those who want to overclock it.
