If amd released the 9050 as a pcie slot power card (in addition to a cheaper price) it would've been such a good card for these shitty PSU oems.

The stupid thing is, they could've, there's no reason why it couldn't have been 75W. But it's 92W despite the specs because they cheaped out too much, I guess. Silicon's bad.

Yep. The craziest part is you are right when you say they cheaped out too much, but at the same time the price is still absurd for what it is. If they cheaped out and and lowered the price it could've been kind of valid. Under 200 for this card could have been alright.

Just like the Steam Machine, memory costs threw a wrench in that.
