I don't like where GPU's are heading. There's too much power draw for so little performance increase. This goes for all GPU makers. Something needs to be done to bring power demands back in line with the rest of computer components. They have enough trouble as it is squeezing last-generation high-end GPU's in notebooks, but this is just ridiculous.
FRIGGIN YES, i don't really get it ether, cards just eat up more and more power, but not at reasonable gains.
