How many watts
Nonsense! All the power isn't wasted (heat is waste), some of it does
usefull work (~60%). It's not an incandescent light bulb or a space heater. SoCalCommie "Behind every great fortune is a crime." - Honore de Balzac "Phil Weldon" wrote in message ink.net...

Where is it being stored? It's not an incandescent light bulb or a space heater. Unless you're claiming that there's 87W of power coming out of the video connector, you're going to have to explain where it's going. The heat generated is equal to the electrical power consumed. Yup, except for a very small percentage that's being dissipated in the video cable or the monitor's receivers. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I just had a NOSE at JOB!! visi.com

How many watts
Well, if you are going to count that, then include the few watts used to
drive the cooling fan. :-) -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

OP : How many watts
Thank you all for the answers and the link especially.
I water cool my video cards, soon, when the price drops I'll be water cooling a couple of 8800GTX's knowing 145, gives me a number I can get my system to dissipate. x2 + 65 for 345 watts "Mr. Porter" wrote in message news:ny8Th.16874$jS1.6223@trndny07...
