That's what I did for my cousin's new build. The 8800GT uses less power I think though, even though it's more powerful. Those are the old 8800GTSes, right?Flaming_Maniac wrote:

Of course they don't have the 8800GT in there, had to use 8800GTS.

Yeah the GTS should use more power than the GT.haffeysucks wrote:

My dad had this energy usage detector thing that went on the power strip and my comp plugged into it...when my comp was on it said about 170 watts. Forgot to look at it while gaming though.That's what I did for my cousin's new build. The 8800GT uses less power I think though, even though it's more powerful.

Also, I just tested to see what 3 8800 GTX's in Triple SLi would be. You'd need a 1200 watt PSU. Yikes.
Try and get fewer than 202 watts!nukchebi0 wrote:
Try to beat 2041 watts.
Better that than buying a PSU according to the instructions given by the site, and later on finding out that their consumption is over the capabilities of said piece of hardware. Then the site has really lied, IMO.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
PSU calculators lie. They just want to sell those higher wattage PSUs more and add some "extra" here and there. I bet lots of ppl will buy overkill PSUs because of that thing.
