I've been looking all over for this information but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I would like to know the power that the following chips require:

GF2 Ultra
GF2 GTS
GF2 MX
GF (any flavor)
Matrox G400
Matrox G400 MAX
Matrox G450
3dfx VSA 100
ATI Radeon

Err.. any I'm missing?

It's strange, this is really important information (as it helps explain why some chips run so hot and others relatively cool) but looking at reviews all over the web I have not found any that mention power consumption.

Thanks in advance!

Voodoo 5 6000 = 70 watts (uses a 100 watt power supply)
Voodoo 5 5500 = 35 watts
Voodoo 4 4500 = 17.5 watts

Other chips... i dunno :)
