ATI Radeon HD 5670 Pictured, Detailed, and Tested

[Zubasa]

The 5850 uses about 10 watts idle and 100 idle at max so this will be much much less.

As far as I know the HD 5850 peaks out @150W and usualy load at around 110W
Ths card I will say around 40W and peaks out around 60ish maybe.

I didn't know exact numbers but I was close enough.

The thing is hotter a card gets, the more inefficient it is.
So it ia always important to look at the peak power draw so that the PSU won't over load.
Especially when you are talking about 300W PSUs.

My 4670 and my 9800GT green edition works just fine with my 250 PSU.

But besides the point, 300PSU for the non powerconnector 5670 should be just fine. I only plan to have 2 dvd drivers, one hard drive, thats it.

This card is supposely being release tomorrow on the 14th, but my question, which companies are releasing them?
Visiontek? sapphire? HIS? Diamond?
