I want to know if Asus 210 GeForce 1 gb could run on 10 amp current rating on single 12 v rail
Or what is the minimum amp rating for this graphic card and can this graphic card be supported on PCI Express X 16 only not 2.0 nor 1.1
My psu is of 500 watt

A G210 requires very little power, but 10A on the 12V rail isn't enough for anything these days. Your CPU, GPU, and motors all run off of the 12V rail. A G210 needs about 30W(~2.5A), if you have a 65W CPU thats another 5.5A. If you have two hard drives in there you are pretty well out of current on your 12V rail.
