I think theres an adapter on which you can plug the card's power to the wall socket.

I heard that if you buy one, nvidia will come to your house, build a hydro dam in your back yard to power this. Also, if you have no access to water (who doesn't have a river in their yard?), they will install 10000 solar panels on your house.

Yeah, but thats part of the new after market power stations that will be popping up once people realize that the stock hydro or solar solutions just aren't enough power to keep the beast going.

Also, look for a large migration of computer enthusiasts to the arctic to get maximum cooling. This will cause global warming to increase 10 fold every year until 5 years from now when all human life will die.

Beat to the punch on the solar panel idea. hehe

I actually do intend to look into it if we move next year tho into a more permanent house. But that card will probably finally put nVidia ahead of ATI in GPU power consumption hmm proud moment for them, LOL.

Probably at least 4 dedicated 20A plus rails just for the GPU not including other system components. So not that much........lol

Well, look on the bright side, funding for cold fusion research has been waning in the last few years, hopefully this new GPU will jump-start research and funding. Tokamaks, here we come!

Tokamak's would be hot fusion.... :P

The cold fusion was supposedly made on a labbench in a glass bottle or something. ;)
