I struggle to accept that a video card will thus put out more watts as heat from the GPU block (as distinct from energy consumed) as comes out of a dual core Opteron.
Just let me know what wattages to use and I will re-approximate.

I trust your figures, but am curious how much OC'n affects temp output and the validity of the high figures being tossed about the 'net.
I realize that VGA power consumption is much different than GPU heat output, but am interested about the process used to isolate heat dump from total wattage used. Considering the card uses 512Mb 1.1ns RAM, the differences are not hard to account for, just difficult to calculate in relation to other current architectures.
