What sort of watts does a gtx put out by its self tho on load?

 

[straxusii]

If you mean 9800GTX then it is 160W

i thought he meant 8800gtx . but anyway . your psu should handle it just fine. and you would probably get away with sli .

Its a 8800 GTX Evga one. Only 160Watts, thats low

Its a 8800 GTX Evga one.

Hello Bikerz, the Nvidia 8800 GTX consumes around 170 watts under load which equates to 14 amps.
