Green Video Card?

[lost]

i always complained about graphic cards that always generate excessive temps and haven't upgraded cuz i dont want my room to be a furnace during the summer, but things might be looking up http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/502/fi...phics-card.html wonder if it will actually clock down when ur using IE

That's pretty much what most newer cards do...

Yep, most video card will automatically down clock the core and memory speeds while not visualizing 3D applications and games.

i thought card itself will clock the speed down.

[Timmy94]

Yeah, sorry, it does

So, it's only nvidia 9000 series and ati 4000 series? Or there are others?

Isn't the 9800 GTX+ Extremely power effiecent? (Don't quote me on that)

 

You should try Hybrid SLI out if you want power efficency.

the 4350 is very efficient, but that doesn't make it good

Most cards from the past 5 years throttle back in 2D mode.
