The last bit of newness in the RV670 is the addition of PCI Express 2.0 connectivity. PCIe 2.0 effectively doubles the throughput of PCIe connections, with very little drama. PCIe 2.0 devices like the RV670 remain backward-compatible with older motherboards.

Both the 3870 and the 3850 consume next to nothing when compared to high end graphics cards. A 450 watt power supply will have no problems with either (assuming you aren't using any hardware that is out of the ordinary for gaming requirements)
Bear in mind that an 8800 GTS draws 147w, approximately 40% more than the 3870, and those run perfectly on a 450w psu

Do Nvidia even have anything CLOSE to that?

-I use it with 350W ~noname PSU, 10A 16A. ( amd x2 4800, 2G ram, hdd WD 500GB, 2x120mm case fan). no problems.
-hot hot hot. cooler seems to keep it at 90-93°C on load with fan at ~45-50% speed. Fan speed needs tweaking.
Anyone had interference problems with this card??? I hear noises in my speaker and they seem correlated with the processed image (eg: in fur rendering benchmark they change consistently with the fur-donut position).
-sorry if my english is bad and i didn't explain myself well (or if my question is out of context)

If this card'd shader clock wasn't locked to the core ... and running at 1.8 Ghz ( Like some OCed nVidia card's shader clocks are running ) , then it could put out over half a million shader operations per second ...
I posted this , because I am bored .

What I can teel you is based on this pic:

The stickers are different and the DVI ports on the V803 are yellow. Only MSI knows the difference right now. Hell they might not even know...

The HD2900, HD3850, and HD3870 have 64 stream processors which can perform 5 operations per clock.
Unfortunately for ATI, it's incredibly innefficient.
