Isn't that what bookmarks are for?
Handy reference though, even considering some of it relies on the extreme outervision PSU Calculator as a source.
yes yes, but I don't have funky roaming bookmarks with iGoogle or whatever, and the bookmarks on each of my computers is a lot different (and non-existant at work/uni)

why odd? Makes sense to me? It's not like it's gonna be double the power for two cards, is it? It's called "load-balancing" 
this is really nice, but i always thought the 8800s draw 200watts with a single card not just in SLi.
Nice link..

It should double the power if both are being 100% utilized.
LOL, like slied cards will ever be BOTH maxed out with current games. (Of the ones you mentioned of course)
That for one Ste, but also, why do you only get around 30% FPS increase in SLI/CrossFire? Cause there are limitations to SLI/CF!

It doesn't really matter what is running on them...they theoretically should pump out the maximum number of frames possible no matter what game it is.

That doesn't necessarily mean that both cards will be 100% utilized...

That's why I said theoretically.
That apparently wasn't the case for their measurement......... (However they did obtain such results)
