Still no word on how the PLX chip is used.... I'll keep waiting to find out.....

Yeah, juice for this seems to be at a premium. CrossfireX of these needs 2-6 pin and 2-8 pin PCIe, 1000W, at some point we can't really get much higher in terms of power demand can we, what's the max for a household 120V 15amp line?

120Vx15A=1800W but this is in theory...

VERY SEXY CARD!!!! I hope my PSU can handle it. Does it have to be an 8pin PCI-E connector or can it be any 8pin connector. Is there a difference if it doesnt say PCI-E on the conector? Any word on how much it will cost?

Suck it nVidia. Suck it long, and suck it hard. :P

What kind of other 8-pin connector is there?

Kerack

Mmm looks like a tasty card. Wonder if my PSU can handle (850).

with all the stuff in my rig, what psu would i need voltage wise to run one of these with my 3870 in crossfire?

RPIJG

There is an 8-pin 12V EPS that is for the CPU socket. DO NOT! REPEAT DO NOT! Use that 8-pin, when the 9800GX2 came out, there was a rash of people who did this and fritzed their super expensive cards by doing this. If it's not meant for the PCIe then DON'T USE IT!

You need an 8-pin PCI-E connector, you can also buy on from a brick and morter store that just goes from molex to 8 pin.
EPS12V for the CPU, it's wired and cut differently, but can be forced into a PCI-E 8pin slot.
