If two of these performed better than a single card, with lower wattage whilst being cheaper and less heat, would be a good reason(s).

the lower end looks to be getting more interesting.
From the looks of it AMD's 7850 refresh, the R7 265, will be it's direct competitor price wise. While the power draw will be much higher, the R9 265 should perform better for the price (provided it retails for RRP, poor Americans and their coin miners).
Will power consumption be a thing we will see more of in the future Tom?

Sapphire only do AMD cards, or at least for the past few years (don't know about way back).

advances in technology eh? Gotta love it!
I like the approach that Nvidia is taking here, starting at the bottom, even though I'm an AMD user right now. 
One question for Tom though:
You mention your 2011 system with a 7970 pulling 700W from the wall. Is that only ONE 7970?!?! I'm asking because I'm running 2 7950s on a 2011 system (albeit a 3820 running at 1.275v), and I can pull MAX 560W from the wall (according to my UPS), and I can only get it that high if I run Furmark in Crossfire + Prime 95 at the same time. That's with 2 D5 pumps at full speed, 15 fans, LEDs, 4 mechanical HDDs, 2 SSDs, etc. What the heck am I missing? Can the 6-core 3930K explain a 140W power draw difference? Or is my UPS lying to me?

Its a type - its 500w - two 7970's would be about 650/700
I have had 4 before on that rig and it was pulling 1250w from the wall
You need to remember different benches pull different loads so you would have to use Unigine valley to compare

If the powerdraw is a issue then this 750/750Ti is probably the way to go.
If you are after the extra 10fps (without overclocking) I think the AMD's R7 265 is gonna beat Nvidia's 750Ti, but only if the suggested retail prices will be kept (and they are far from stabile lately with AMD due to the mining rush).

Nice video Tom! First video from you I've ever watched in 1080p (shoutout to the YouTube app for the PS3, now I can finally watch TTL ranting in HD! :lol
Quite a nice card! Sweet performance for the price, perfect for a steambox!

Cool, thanks! If you REALLY want to see some power draw with multiple GPUs, try running Furmark under a Crossfire profile, while running Prime95 at the same time. That puts a LOT more stress on the GPUs, and probably drew 50W-65W more from the wall for me than just running Valley alone. Of course, that's not exactly a "real world" test since your system would never see such stress. But it's a good "ultimate" stress test.

Ah looks like a great little card, very temped for a few little projects i have in mind, and i love the efficiency. By pushing that low might even mean mobile chips could give better performance later on. We could even see gaming laptops in the future pushing out 780 perfomance and still hold enough battery for a good long game
that will make lan gaming intresting.
Nice little info seep here tom

CUDAminer/cgminer sure loads up the GPUs.
In Valley I sit at around 115% power draw at 1.3v on a Titan, yet with CUDAminer it spikes to 180% with the overclocked profile, hence why I only ran it for around ten seconds.
With 1.2v and CUDAminer it still hits well over 125%.
Price is a Shame!
It really is a nice little card, But the price makes it a bad choice for anyone buying a new GPU. The price should be $119 just like the 650 Ti was. That was what made the 650 Ti so successful. Remember the 650 Ti was a failure until they finally made the price fair, After that it was a wonderful choice over the 7770 7790 and 7850, Now we have the 750 Ti, And it honestly is nothing more than a 650 Ti with a lower power state and better efficiency. And they expect to sale it for the same price as the R7 265? Both are $145 and the 750 Ti does not even come close to the R7 265 in performance, They are both in different leagues. The actual AMD GPU that matches the 750 Ti is the $120 R7 260X, And with the R7 260X you get a faster memory bandwidth of 104 GB/s vs the 750 Ti's 86.4 GB/s , So the R7 260X can handle it's 2GB of V-Ram Much better at higher resolutions, But then again with these cards you are not really going to want to play at 1080p anyway. However with the R7 265 that is priced the same, can handle 1080p wonderfully. And it can fully utilize it's 2GB of V-ram with a very fast memory bandwidth of 179.2 GB/s, And not to mention you have the option to later crossfire, And the performance of two R7 265's is phenomenal, Especially at $145 a GPU.
