hi guys.
i've been running a system with a pair of 8800gt 512mb. i just realized the recommended amperage for a single 8800gt is somewhere around 22~26 (what was said in forums). but both of my 12v rails only have 18A on them.
so my question is, is my PSU holding back the performance of my gfx cards? i do OC a bit and plan to go a bit more further. do i need a bigger PSU? (currently 650W)
and from what i read in forums, some ppl say tht the recommended amperage for a gfx card is for the whole system, not just the gfx card. which one is true?
any recommendation is welcomed
