Can a 9800GT run off of an Antec Earthwatts 500W PSU?
The only reason I ask this is that EVGA says that the 9800GT needs a Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amp Amps.)
Here are the output ratings of the Antec Earthwatts:
+3.3V@24A,+5V@24A,+12V1@17A,+12V2@17A,-12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A
Is this sufficient? Or is this going to be bad for the card long term?
