DirectX 10 GPUs to Consume up to 300W

ATI and NVIDIA have been briefing power supply manufacturers in Taiwan recently about what to expect for next year?s R600 and G80 GPUs. Both GPUs will be introduced in late 2006 or early 2007, and while we don?t know the specifications of the new cores we do know that they will be extremely power hungry.
