How particular are the new cards on power. I have an Antec 550, 24a on the 12v side, and 40a on 5v, if I recall. Im tossing the idea of going for the 8800, but if theres no way it will fuel this card, a gigabyte DS3, and an E4300. If it wont, Ill go with a 7900 for the time and uograde later. Any ideas?

I'm running a 600w, similar 12v rail. I have no problems with my GTS, and it is overclocked, soon to be volt-modded etc. You have enough power for it....DO IT!!:santa2:

I looked, yours is a dual rail though. Mines just a single rail at 24a,lol
