What is power consumption for n-factor coins? I mean is there a difference comparing to usual scrypt coins?

Unchanged for "low" NFactor coins - say N=4 to N=12 or so.  When you start getting to N=13 and N=14, you can mine effectively with low power GPU's, and configure your GPU to use fewer shaders for the amount of memory you have.


That sounds interesting. Could you go a little more into detail plz. What would that mean in terms of power consumption? What do you mean with "low power GPUs"?
