Power consumption GTX 480 card only: ~270 Watts Power consumption Playstation 4 entire system: ~135 Watts That means just one GTX 480 consumes twice the amount of power as an entire Playstation 4 system. In other words if you would try to use a card like the GTX 480 in a console it would fry in minutes. |
This was a bad example. Newer cards have a much lower TDP with the same power as the 480. Refer to the 660 on this list. By the way the watts shown are full system usage. Not just the cards.

In fact just to prove how misinformed your post was. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130?vs=1135 750 ti is very similar to the 480. The 750 ti has an entire system usage of 184 Watts in Crysis 3. While getting 1080p and near 60fps.
