i want an evga gtx 560 Ti for my system, on the evga site, it says that the card requires a minumum of 30 amps on the +12v rail. i have an antec truepower 650, which (on the sticker) says that it has a maximum of 25 amps on the +12v rail. will my power supply wreck the card? will it run at lower speeds or with less cores? do i need to upgrade my power supply? appreciate any help
 
Its it the TruePower New or is it the older series of True Power units? The TruePower New 650W has 54A between its 12V rails which is more than enough for a GTX 560 even though it only has 25A at most on a rail, the rating on the cards are for the system as a whole, not all of the listed power is drawn from a single rail on the PSU.

Looking at the Antec site i cannot find any of the older TP series that have 25A on any 12V rails, so im guessing its one of the newer ones in which case it will be just fine.
