Hi all.
I notice (for example) the AMD 7970 for example has TDP < 300w max and < 3w idle.
So, based on current gen cards that we know about, does this mean I can run Win7 Aero, Angry Birds, Card game, etc. at <3w ?
Does it also mean an old game like HL2 at say < 100w? Or ANY application that uses more than 3w will get he card jumped to FULL 300w?
So, basically the power management is ALL or NOTHING ? Can't disable individual cores if I'm not running Crysis2 DX11?
thanks!
