Hello I just bought a new graphics card.. A Geforce gtx 780 ti sc acx and on the box it says that it supports a power supply with a minimum of 600W and my power supply is 650W..Well I have the graphics card installed and it works great but a friend of mine said that the graphics card is only working at about 80% power because I only have a 650W power supply. Is this true??? Thanks.
