Will a 650 watt power a GTX295?

[maximiza]

Hi,
Got a ZEUS ST65ZF 650W, with a 8 pin connector identified as a Server use CPU connector (8Pin). Is that the same connector that is required on the GTX295? I am currently powering 2 7800GTX in sli, I assume that power use is the same. mobo is a8n sli deluxe.

and that 8pin cpu connector isn't the one the card needs, 8pin PCIe connector has different pinlayout (5 grounds and 3 12V on the PCIe vs 4 grounds and 4 12V on the EPS12V) and the plug is keyed slightly differently..

the psu has total 504W on the 12V rails (though the amperage is spread out in a weird way, but that shouldn't matter since the card draws the power via 3 different routes anyways) It should be enough, depending on the rest of the system.... If you have highly OCed quad core and loads of HDDs and stuff, it would be pushed pretty hard though and might not like it.

You could use a 2x6pin into 8pin adapter (might come with the card), since the psu has 3 6 pins available.

gtx295 uses little more than the slied 7800GTXs. and those numbers are for the cards themselves, not the whole system....
