my psu wont melt now will it?

[jonny_uk]

Just bought this today

Absolutely love it, totally for-filled my expectations

Anyway onto my question, will my OCZ modstream 520w cope ok with this 8800GTS 640MB? it has i believe 28A on the 12v rail but in the instructions for the card it says 30A @12v? will it be ok as ive run 2 games both play great and it has scored me an extra 2500 points in 3Dmark 06 which i was very impressed with

always go with the higher number just in case

 

[jonny_uk]

That means nothing to me! elaborate a little?

you mean i should take the 30A figure and not go below it?

mine runs fine off of 420W and it is an old psu

congrats johnny that is one wicked lookin card

 

[psp_crazy1]

eh 30 amps should be good. i think the minimum the card needs is 25 but i bet it would work at 24 too.

Thanks guys

tell us how it runs and lucky you. wish i had the money now for a new psu and 8800...

 

[jonny_uk]

well i already know two of my games i play alot(battlefield 2142 and farcry) play great on max settings with very high frames per second, and as i said i got an extra 2500 points in 3Dmark 06.
So at the moment it seems to be running spot on
