I figured this would work from the first post. There was already a VERY long post, later turned into a front page article here, about a guy running an 8800GTX on a 280 watt high efficiency power supply.
I've been running the setup in my sig since May with the 8800GTS and with my older video card for almost two years. I only get problems trying to overclock my video card once the CPU is at 3.74ghz or higher. But even 3.70 and clocking my GTS up to 640core 1100 memory my little bluestorm is able to get the job done.
I would imagine I wouldn't have too much trouble running a GTX.
I can't imagine what these people using 750 and 1000 watt PSUs are trying to run...

just use the coupon i posted in the cyber deals section, get yourself 5 ink carts and you'll be set
you do need to persuid them to apply the coupon by getting the maxxassurance, but you can return the maxxassurance later if you dont want it

Very Nice demonstration of some misconceptions about power supplies . Im running a 8800GT on the stock PSU that comes with the Antec NSK-3840, a 380w PSU, I was going to get the 520w corsair but cheaped out after I read an article on how much power systems acutally draw. I forget where but it said something like 550w was enough for a sli and quad core setup <_< (yes, its true!).

Woot, a thread after my own heart. Ive been running OC'd systems on stock generic POS PSUs and -NEVER- had a problem. Everyone tells me generic psus are scary and have dirty power in them and they run at like 2% efficiency and run like 120C idle.
Ok, slightly over the top. But seriously, Ive never had a problem with a generic psu, and apparently neither did you WTG (Y).
Nice score... for a shuttle
