Benchmarks: Power Consumption
The 3XS Cyclone SLI has plenty of CPU and GPU muscle, but it also eats through a fair amount of power in order to deliver benchmark-busting performance.
Energy bills probably won't be of concern to the consumer spending £3,000 on a base unit, but it's still worth remembering that the Cyclone SLI won't be cheap to run.
And there's another concern, if the system's eating up over 700 Watts while gaming, how much heat is it kicking out?
