I'd assume that most of the 6800 cards in with PCI-X use a bridge and are basically the same electronics as the AGP - so drop that 123.5W out. Thats just crap.
Second, you still have voltage stepdown issues.
Third, and always fun, you have no idea what else is going on. To make this slightly more accurate you'd need an additional PSU just running the videocard and then do the measurements.
Fan = 12V @ 0.5Amp or so?

Question: Are the devices on a psu rail wired in parallel or in series?
