anyone know of a place to look at the latest video card energy use stats. seems like all the ones I can find are pretty outdated don't have any of the new cards on them. Currently have an 8800GT in a 1920x1080 win7 desktop setup and looking to go more energy smart. I don't game... PC is...

here in northern CA this has been the mildest summer I've ever been able to remember. I think we had like 2 hot days... and even those weren't bad low 90's
