Hey!

I was wondering i have this Seasonic S12II-620 which i think is a dual rail PSU that has 24A on both 12V rails and 48A Combined. do you know if the graphics card will only draw power from 1 Rail or both since i am going to install GTX 970 that seems to need 28A (according to someone).

What will happen if a video card doesn't get enough amperage?

Everyone says Seasonic S12II-620 is a good PSU and has no problem powering a GTX 970 i just wonder if they took in consideration that it's a multi-rail PSU.

That should be fine. It still means that all of the 12V devices in your system have access to that 48A (see below from NewEgg). If you had a 2nd card in SLI, maybe it would be an issue.

On a high-quality PSU, like the SeaSonic, it should simply power down the PSU or GPU. They should trigger a protection circuit, etc...

It's only the low-quality PSU's, where you'd have other issues to worry about.
