| selnor said: I saw a chart somewhere that showed 2 version of 7970. With one being 110w. |
The "new" 7970 is a regular 7970 that runs at 1GHz instead of 925 GHz. And that makes it use more W under load, so I have to ask:
Are you sure that the consumptions you saw were at load? Could they be at idle?
A system with a 7970 uses 110 W at idle, see Anandtech (at the bottom, idle 113 W for the old model and 111 W for the new one, but 391 W for the old and 429 W for the new one running Metro 2033).
Please excuse my bad English.
