I have a tagan 480w power supply and I am thinking of getting a 320mb 8800 xfx graphics card. I am not going to run it in sli mode, will this be enough power as I have heard so much contrasting news on this?
GTS requires 400W and 26A across the 12V rails.
This PSU has 30A across the 12V rails.
It's tight but should run ok.
I'd buy 520W Corsair to go with it.
If the Tagan is the easycon series - yes.

So far no website has directly measured the amount of power drawn by the GTX and GTS

Based on nVidia's estimates the 8800GTX consumes 145w of power (12.08 amps), and the 8800GTS consumes 115w of power (9.58 amps). So far no website has directly measured the amount of power drawn by the GTX and GTS. Xbitlabs.com usually measures CPU and GPU power consumption. However their custom modified motherboard that they have been using to measure GPU power consumption in the past is not compatible with the 8800 series.
What are you talking about? It's the entire system and knowing Nvidia they are playing it safe at that.
If they say 400W and 26A will run a GTS and system - it will run a GTS and system.
