I'm bidding on a 6800 gt right now to hopefully upgrade my current system while I wait a few months, saving up enough money to buy a whole new system.

The only problem I'm having is finding out the PSU requirements, I couldn't find any information on Nvidias site for the 6800s specs and the reviews for the card I've read have different power requirements for each review, if they even list them :lol: I also didn't have any luck searching the forums, not very good at it.

I'm currently running on a 300wat PSU with 15A on the 12v connector, I'm betting this won't be enough. I'd love to get by on this psu for now if it'll scrape through, but if not would either of these be good enough? I'm looking for bare minimum requirement here.

Thanks for the help!

Forgot to mention, its the agp version of the card as well, not sure if that'll make a difference. Thanks for the tip, I can't unfortunately shop at new egg though, Canadian, so I'm mainly looking for the requirements and I'll shop around for what fits my budget, I do appreciate the help though.
