NVIDIA GT300 real power consumption revealed: Not 300W!
BSN: "We have already disclosed nVidia GT300 GPU [or Fermi CUDA architecture, depends what naming convention you like the most] power consumption for the consumer card, but it looks like 6GB of GDDR5 memory is too hard of a cookie to fit inside the 225W limit.
As we all know, power comes to the board in 75 or 150W package: an x8 electrical PCI Express slot is capable of providing 75W of power [same goes for the x16 one], a single 6-pin PEG power connector will give you additional 75W and an 8-pin PEG [PCI Express Graphics] connector will give you 150W to play with."
