when a GPU is plugged into a 6-pin power source, does it get 100% of its power through this, or does it still recieve some power through the pci-e bus?
i am planning on getting a 7900GT, but as the dell only has a 305W psu, i am planning on using an old 145W PSU for the GPU alone. i am assuming that it would power it ok.
i tried googling, but dont really know what to search for. i just get info that some need the power connector, not anything that shows how it actually works.
