How hot are these cards...

I need a heat comparison between the 7900gt and a 6600gt SLi... Thanks!

A single 6600GT draws about 48W at full load and ~96W if SLIed. 7800GT draws 57W, 7900GT draws a bit less so assume it draws 50W.

So a 6600GT SLI will draw about 2x more power than a 7900GT, and thus producing 2x more heat. Hope it helps.

BTW 7900GT kills a 6600GT SLI no matter what.

You might get close by looking at the wattage. Best I got. Mark the link.
