Now begins the serious flood of used hardware for sale because it it viewed as "obsolete".

hehe so true. The power consumption figures are very nice though. What I want to see is a comparison between the Maximus IV Extreme vs P67A-UD7 focusing specifically on SLI/xfire performance in games. Gigabyte seems to have taken a straight foward approach to the nf200 implementation and Asus decided to get all funky with it.
