hi guys, ive just recieved my evga 8800gts in the post today, i am yet to install it in my machine. i was reading the box and it says under minimum requirements: 400 watt power supply with a minimum of 26 amps on the +12 volt rail.
i have a hiper type r 580 watt power supply, which i thought would handle this card 'a' ok, but ive gone onto hiper's website (Products - Power - HPU-4B580) and it says :
Output Parameter
+5V (± 5%)
2.0A - 36A
*****+12V 1 (± 5%)
*****1.0A - 20A
*****+12V 2 (± 5%)
*****1.0A - 18A
-12V (± 10%)
0A - 0.8A
+5VSB (± 5%)
0 - 2.5A
+3.3V (± 5%)
0.5 - 30A
as ive shown with the *****, on one +12v rail there are 20amps, and on the other there are 18amps.
so will my power supply be able to run this card? do you add the 20amps and 18amps together?
am i going to need a new powersupply? :-(
is anyone running the same psu and gfx without problems?
thanks in advance
