Hi there,

Ok I have an Antec Truepower Trio 550W which has 3x12V rails with 18A on each. Is this enough to power a 8800GTS?

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

Excellent, cant remember the maths for the 3x12V 18A on each. If someone out there knows it, let me know!

Cheaper or more expensive? BFG? I can't believe I'm selling my X1950 Pro I just bought a few weeks ago!! After all the trouble of RMA!

When I reply I see the image! Are you about to add a PSU to your basket

It should be enough I think my current PSU. There are other people with the GTS running similar spec PSU's just a bit shocking the consumption!

No worries.

Just been on OCZ website - http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_modstream_power_supply

It says there at the side:

450W: +3.3V(28A), +5V(45A), +12V(26A) .

Melbourne says you have to have 28A on the 12V rail, I'm not sure that would power your system and the 8800 too. Is that a new PSU m8?

Btw, just been onto BFG website (should have done this before posting thread really) and it says under minimum specifications for the GTS:

A 400W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 26A or more*

Shouldn't do, but dont take my word for it. Most likely will just boot up and then reboot or shutdown randomly. If I was you, I would just upgrade your PSU. Bit risky!
