And also just like your laptop, components cost a premium to get that low TDP. If you want to compare performance cost in a home console with a TDP of 200w max, you need to see what laptop components would cost to get a fair idea. Home consoles have more in common with Laptops than desktops. Desktops get their power at a 600W plus cost. |
but this is only if you have quadsli or rly old gpu for sli ...
gtx 680 with i7 2600k uses 300w max.
If you use ati you can get away with 200-250w.
