Graphics card power requirements

[SeanH]

Hey guys, im looking at buying a http://www.euroshoponline.co.za/product_page.aspx?cat=4029&pid=884
But im not sure what psu i should get for it, i cant find the power requirements for it anywhere.

I think this one here http://www.coolermaster.com/index.p...uct&ftype=&p_serial=RS-A00-EMBA&other_title=0 should do the trick, but im not sure.

Ill also have a QX6700 running in there hence the big psu

Hey man, I can get you a 8800GTX for much cheaper.

PSU wise a nice AOpen 700W or something similar would be good.

I specifically want a sparkle calibre P880+ OC.
And im getting it a lot cheaper than that advertised price already

That psu will definately work. That Sparkle card is way 2 expensive though, should't be more than R 7500

Good, dont want you getting ripped off.

And that coolermaster PSU is definately more than enough...

 

[SeanH]

Are you sure, cause apparently the p880+ needs a 12v rail on 30A or something? im not too sure about this stuff, can someone confirm that it will work?

What i can see from one review i found is that that PSU should be enough

Hey supersunbird, would you be able to get that card for me?
And at what price?

 

[supersunbird]

Im trying to find out which supplier handles Sparkle, but Gainward, XFX and Asus all have cards in R6000 to R6200 range...
