Probably not what you are after but I posted what my Revo uses here;
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/409619

Basically 36W max using VDPAU on SD content with an ESata disk in an
external enclosure.

Engaging VDPAU when watching SD Content seems to up the wattage by only 4w.

A Revo uses a 9400M so is at the low end.

Hope that helps.
