At the famous XbitLabs as well you can find an article (http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/ati-powercons.html) comparing the higher end lineup of ATi-based grafixcards in terms of power consumption.
Interestingly, the RADEON 9800 XT loads the AGP slot more than the new generation of ATI graphics cards: in the Burn mode, the total consumption on the 3.3v, 5v and 12v lines in the AGP slot reaches about 20W, while the X800 consumes 10W at most through the AGP.
P.S.: An article covering the Nvidia cards is likely to come...
