Too bad it takes two power connectors and a 480w ps to run this bad boy.

just wait a month for ati's card. From what I hear it will use one plug.

[JollyRoger]

Yeah but it can't use as much power so the graphix are going to be not as good.:cool

[ZWarrior]

Not the first time that the first run of new technology required more power.  Remember the 3dfx Voodo 5 5500?  Required additional power as well, but it was THE card to have at the time.
