GTS 250 = 150W TDP
GTX 285 = 183W TDP

And no I don't run SLI...I use the video cards for GPGPU work.

Nope, no SLI for the GTS 250s. I run them on an old 939 board to model molecular thermodynamics at extreme temperatures. However they re listed at 150W TDP each. Guess what the GTX 285's TDP is? 183W.

I see PSU makers are still desperately trying to oversell the wattages of PSU's. Nobody really needs 900w+ of output. Yet you know some idiot with mid range SLI will think he does and spend about $100 more than he needed to.

I've been hearing some bad QC rumblings about PC P&C lately. Now that they're owned by OCZ the traditional 'PC P&C is rock solid' may not apply :/

Anyhow it's nice to see high efficiency and all that but we need to see it where it matters, in lower wattage PSUs. These monstrosities are only useful in quad core multi GPU overclocked systems that spend all their time doing DC.

Seasonic already has Gold rated PSU's. Thats 90+ efficiency.
