VGA watt consumption?

[Madstrike]

So I was wondering if anyone knows a link that shows the watt consumption of these cards: 6800XT and 8800GT. THe reason Im asking this is to know if the difference is too big to the point Ill need a more powerfull PSU if I decide to make the upgrade.

From EVGA's website about the 8800GT (the only ones I know who post PSU requirements ...):

Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amp Amps.)
Minimum 450 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 28 Amp Amps.)

That's system power consumption. The 8800GTX uses just under 12A so the GT will be quite a bit less.
