The C't reviewed some 7600GT cards and the XFX card was the fastest but (of course) also used the most energy. About 18 watt when running idle compared to the Gainward's 12 watt.
Is there a way to underclock and undervolt these cards when not running 3D games? Just underclocking won't really help I think...?
By the way, the 7600GT chip is rated for up to 130 degrees, core temp of course. The components sitting next to it won't be happy with that temp I guess...
Which 7600GT?
