I have an interesting situation I purchased a 750TX Corsair for a Crossfire setup of 2 - 2gb 5870 cards then decided to purchase a card for Physx. I will be using an i7-860 CPU and may be overclocking the cards as well as the CPU. My Nvidia card I ordered is the new GTX460which is mildly overclocked from the factory but has more room to go. How much it will need tobe overclocked if at all is still a mystery. I have 2 ways to go here, add a second smaller psu for the Nvidia card only. ( yes I know how to combine two PSU's so that is not an issue)
How many amps do mid-range video cards draw? I have a new, in the box, Antec Basiq 350 Watt sitting here (cause I got it cheap). I know the wattage is more than enough. I could probably get by with even a 250Watt older PSU but I just do not know how much amps are required.
The other way of course is get a bigger main PSU. I will be building this machine up in the next couple of days, hopefully. The GTX460 gets her on Friday (Supposedly, from Newegg)
Thanks
