What's it's rough power draw? I'm not talking about the board either, just the GPU...anyone have a clue? I want to say something like 20W...

The previews from a year ago said less than 12W for the core under load (S3 had some 3DMark03 points per watt slides floating around) and typical 17-30W for a complete board during normal operation.

Thanks...did they ever fix its driver oddities with AA/AF? Or are those mostly permanent?

 

[AlexV]

Well, theire architectural features, not oddities so...

I'm longing for a laptop with a VIA C7, gammachrome GPU (underclocked S27, or S25 if that really exists), "perpendicular" 80GB HDD, OLED screen (say 14", not widescreen) or a LCD not too crappy on viewing angles. for 500€. where can I have it?
