whatever rail is powering it and >350watts, adding a second 9800gtx requires a minimum of 700watts and 45 amps on one rail (or 25-30 amps per rail if connected to separate rails] [you mentioned wanting to go to two gtx280: they require less power: 17amps...

GTX280 Power Supply Reqs. i was just wanting to know wat is the minimal amout of power two gtx 280's require, the new computer i'm building consists of a i7 920, 6gb of ddr3, 1 cd/dvd, and 3 hdd's. the power supply i'm currently using is an ocz gamestream 700w,...

to my door I did some pondering and worrying, and I am beginning to think that my Ultra x3 1000 watt power supply MAY not be enough to power up two of these bad boys. I think it says the +12v line (of the Ultra X3) is a max of 70A, while a single GTX280 requirement...

combo for $339.98 Yea he is spot on with xfire/SLI expandibilty, UD4P + 750TX will handle mid-tier set-ups. Anything in the range of GTX280 and up will require more power, and see more benefits from an X58 setup. For the next three days it looks like I can...

GTX280/260 power requirements. managed to get a screenshot of the Nvidia GTX 200 installation guide showing the recommend power requirements: (for comparison the 9800GTX recommended 450W and 24A and 8800Ultra recommended 500W and 34A) ...

quicker and more powerful than what they currently offer. Why buy a card now for the future when you can buy one then and it will be more powerful than the ones now? If you want to play 2xGTX280 will be faster, then the 4870x2 will destroy the GTX280, and...

is the Amp requirements for the GTX280? here's the other forum i've been in with the links to the psu. as far as the gtx 280 requirements, can't help much there. the also said the actual usage in real life was lower than 225 watts for a single card...I...

eliminated. Is about 8 times faster than the gtx280 on raw processing power. Cost is cheeper than a single gtx280 These statistics alone already say that Nvidia better start planning another card release otherwise the 4870x2 is going to blow away Nvidia's...

say the biggest problem is Nvidia thought they could go to a bigger die like the GTX200's, and they hit a wall a size/generation before they thought they would. In turn they have incredible power requirements, high heat, and low yields. Just seems like they...
