How much power does a modern GPU pull?

Like on the Geforce4 Ti series, what is the power rating on them?

What about a Radeon 9700?

How does the GF3 compare to the GF3 Ti series in power usage?

Just looking for watts. Read that the NV30 will be 60-70w, sounded awful high. Does anyone know if that's right?
 
I'm not exactly sure about the power usage of the Geforce 3 Ti series, but i'd assume that the Ti500 would be around 25-30 watts, and the Geforce4 Ti series.. 30-35. Since their Transistor counts aren't too radically different. The only difference is clock speed.

It's a known fact that the 9700 pulls more than 40 watts (max for the AGP spec) but how much over it, isn't known. An large amount of that power goes to power the 256 bit RAM interface. I seriously doubt the NV30 will be 60-70 watts because it's .13 micron, and it runs on a 128 bit memory interface. I'd say 40-50 would be much more reasonable.
