8800 ultra power

[osborne3]

hey every one i have a 8800 ultra and it says on the box that the minimum sytem reguirements require 35 amps on the 12 volt rail. but my psu the ocz gamextreamonly puts out a max of 20 amps on the 12 volt rail is this ok.

That is NOT ok.

What model of the OCZ GameXStream do you have? The Ultra needs 2 PCIe 6 pin power connector.

That can't be right, you probably have 2 rails with 20a each. Check again.

I'm going to guess he has the 600W version, and it has a combined 72A, on it's four +12v rails. And it does have 2 x PCIe power cables.

So that's a good PSU for the 8800 Ultra then. I guess he was just wondering if the Ultra will only be using 1 +12V rail.
