Interesting Statistics of Power Usage Over GPU Years

Interesting stats, I believe my PC uses somewhere around the 5-600W mark cant test until i get my bottom to the shops. Summer was HELL even with full velux window wide open and a fan on, Winter IS comming!
 
Power usage is quite important to some people, I.E last week I was considering buying a second GTX780 for SLI but I was worried about how much the extra heat dump into my water loop would force me to increase fan speeds (and thus noise) or increase my rad space (costs money).

This week I dropped £626 on a GTX970 SLI set up to replace my GTX780 knowing that the power/heat increase would be negligible by comparison and the performance increase noticeable :)
