Hi,
I was wondering how the GTX260's power consumption was under linux. I know this card clocks back to save power when your just setting at the desktop and I was wondering if that works with the linux drivers, or if it's completely hardware controlled and doesn't matter about drivers?
I was also wondering how the power consumption was between the GTX 260 and the GTS 250 when they're both idling (just internet browsing and stuff like that). I know that the GTX260 is going to pull significantly more power when I'm running it hard, but I don't really care then because I want the extra performance!
Thanks,
Andy
