How much power is needed by an ATI X1900 GT (256 MB)? My PSU has 530 watts with 24 amps on a single +12v rail. Have not been able to find this anywhere.

Which vendor is better for the ATI X1900 GT?

Which vendor is better for the NVidia 7900 GT (256 MB)?

That's plenty of amps for that card. I don't see any video card sucking more than 18-22A anyway. If you want to make sure it's fine, simply allow it its own 12V rail. Sure it's annoying but your video card will be a happy camper.
