Hello! I have a quick question involving my new purchased EVGA GeoForce 660 Ti Overclocked Edition 3GB GDDR5. I just bought it lie 30 minutes ago from microcenter and i haven't opened it yet nor installed anything in case of whatever...
Anywayz, I have just purchased this card since im upgrading from integrated graphics, and I have a question involving the minimum amps required for this card. On the box i neglected to consider this factor, but the card says it requires AT LEAST 24 amps on the +12V rail. Now according to my power supply it says that it has +12VA1@23A, and +12VA2@20A. Does this mean that it has a combined total of 43 Amps available thus resulting in a functional graphics card??
Here are some specs which may help in resolving this concern:
AMD Phenom ii x4 960T Black Edition
MSI Mainboard 880G-E45
Kingston Hyper Blu 1333 8GB RAM
Thermaltake TR2 Series 600 Watt *Load Range* +3.3V@22A; +5V@18A; +12V1@23A; +12V2@20A; -12V@0.3A; +5VSB@2.5A
Will it run my new card?
P.S. I am not much of a hardcore PC gamer, I play only a select few PC games like BF sometimes or Even Borderlands. I am mostly an editor, and video graphics designer.
