Is there a way to calculate power usage without a electricity usage monitor like a Kill-a-Watt? Also does anyone know the power consumption of this: Gigabye GTX 560 Super Overclocked ? Thanks!

305 WATTS??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?! So then I'm mining I'm eating 305 WATTS?!?!
The test is a overall power consumption
( 3.33GHz Core i7-975 Extreme Edition in an Asus P6X58D Premium motherboard with 6GB of DDR3/1333 and an 850TX Corsair PSU. The OS is 64-bit Windows Ultimate. All games are run at 1920x1200 with 4x AA.)
So if your running a amd sistem you can be pulling more on the 340w side in gameing
I have no idea what mining pulls
oh ok beacuse I read some where that it 'ate' around 150 watts load the card alone Thanks for the answer
