Where can I find a list of the amount of heat produced by modern GPUs?

[Howard]

ATI doesn't list heat produced on their website, nor does NVIDIA.

thats cus each case is different based on clutter and everything...

if you have a good airflow case your temps can be like 30 degrees off...

same can be said for bad airflow....

I'm asking for the heat in watts, not temperature (heat and temperature aren't even interchangeable). You know how CPUs produce X watts of heat under 100% load? Like that, only for the GPUs on video cards.

Here's an initial list. I'll let you know if I find anything better.

Thank you Saved.

nVidia and ATi dont release the amount of power that the GPU sucks. Maybe they want us to buy really expensive and high wattage power supplies so then they can screw us over... :evil:

lol, 486's used less than 5 watts..jeez.

Hey potato ! If it's of any interest. Go to the bottom of the video page in the provided link.

There is a real good listing of VGA reviews, old and some new, all in one place. Many from AnandTech.

Seems like nobody's recorded them.

yea all they need is a watt meter thing to see how much is being drawn from the wall and compare system to system i guess..ah well

weeee!!!!!

well, they already do auto throttling for 2d/3d so i guess its sorta already done heh

I'd like to know the amount used by the GPU itself, and not including the RAM/MOSFETs (wasted heat) etc. Oh well, those figures are great anyhow.
