I'm sorry but http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gf8800gtx-roundup_6.html is a load of crap - we ALL know each individual 8800GTX model has different power consumption and noise levels. What gives???
Idiot. Didn't you notice that all four GPU's carry nVidia's reference design cooler? Meaning same noise levels. Nitwit. And also who cares about the few watts of difference resulting from slightly different clock speeds? Just use the recommended PSU and you'll be fine. FOOL!
Was disappointed that they use an already out-casted processor and chipset. My guess why C&C3 could not run well was due to the chipset and processor. Why wouldn't they use Core2 Duo and chipsets like 975X or i680 or ATI's?
