8800GTS Power Requirements
Hi,
I've got a Coolermaster 650W Extreme power supply. It has two +12V rails at 18A each. The 8800GTS requres 26A on the +12V rail (i think). Will my PSU be adequate? Do the +12V rails combine for one graphics card (making 36A), or are they completely independant? Any help appreciated. |

USUALLY the graphics card will run on much less than is recamended im not going to say that it WILL run. But i will say that most likely youd be good to go.

That will be fine I have seen a few machines running the 8800 GTS with less output and it runs fine.

That is plenty.
"Requirements Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amp Amps.)" - EVGA.com I'm pretty sure that this is based on a single 12v rail PSU, which would indeed need much more amps in order to push the CPU, GPU, and anything else in the system. Your good to go.
