Power Consumption

Yes, overclocking consumes more power. But interestingly enough, even pushed all the way to the top of what AMD allows in their own driver settings, the overclocked 4890 draws just a little less power than the GTX 285. Which is not bad at all considering the type of performance we can get out of this setup.

    I should say it has been more stable than any of my 8 series cards under heavy load (hours of gaming with shader generating on level loads.)
