Will it work?

Will a 9800 GX2 work with OCZ 500w Stealthxstream?

-NVIDIA states that the 'Minimum Recommended' System Power should be 580W. Is my power supply good enough to power this card?

It is also important to note that these cards come with hefty power requirements and using a PCIe 2.0 powersupply is a must. Unlike the AMD solutions, it is not possible to run the 9800 GX2 with a 6-pin PCIe power connector in the 8-pin PCIe 2.0 socket. NVIDIA recommends a 580W PSU with PCIe 2.0 support for a system with a single 9800 GX2. For Quad, they recommend 850W+ PSUs.

* An 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector.

It needs an 8-pin power connector. So it will not work.

There has been a thread this week on 8 pin adaptors.

I have just installed it into my PC and works fine. I will have to get some fans to cool my pc as the GFX is running at 71 degrees idle. check out my threads.
