I'm charged 30c per kWh (9.1c for current, 10.6 for infrastructure, 10.3c taxes). No way I'm ever getting a card that probably draws 400W, not even one that draws over 150W..

So what are you gaming with now? Also, that means you couldn't have bought an Xbox 360/PS3 for years because they used 195-240W of power at launch until their slim versions came out.

Asus 6870, waiting for something similar in 28nm that uses less than 70W (I don't own a console, Amiga 500+ was the last non-PC).

(The 30c above do not include Renewal Energy tax which in my case translates to approx. 49c per kWh, so I'm at roughly 80c per kWh)
