Sexylike. However notice as that card needs a whole 2 power inputs. Glad I have a 580W PSU.

It may be ugly, but it is probably just a prototype model.  They haven't put any logos are designs on it yet, thats why it looks ugly.

Yeah, just wait until they put some demons or anime girls or wizards on it and then you will love it. ;D

Did you all miss the memo about how there are going to be PSUs specifically for graphics cards now? That alone should have given you a hint to what DX10 cores are going to need for power.

@ashaman: Then your not buying a DX10 card then?

PSU For a Graphics card  :o? man... and I thought my Surge protector was full, lets see, I have the computer (PSU), Monitor, Speakers, Printer, Westell modem and that fills it up, I prolly could find another outlet for the Printer and speakers because they have Huge power packs.... but just another plug to plug in? Yike! Cheers, Gunny

Two power supplies would be a pain in the ass. They will find a way to make things more efficient.

Amen Cheesegrater, they always do.... prolly make a single high wattage PSU, or somehow create a card that doesnt eat so much electricity..... cheers, Gunny

I don't really think they'll need 300watts of power just by itself.

Some other site said the new ATI card has a full 64 pipes. I'd expect 18-32;)
