My Epower 550W with 40A struggled with this card. They are beasts when it comes to power requirements. Did you plug into the the 6 pins FURTHEST from the 6 pin power, or the 6 pins CLOSEST to the other 6pin PCI-E slot?

You have to plug into the one thats furthest from the 6 pin, so there is a gap of 2 pins in between the two plugs on the card.

The pins will only go in one way, if you take a close look at the female end of the connection each pin connector is shaped different. Thought this might help.

I used to have an epower. Nice PSU's. Very good quality.

I'm running a 2900XT for the time being while I wait for my replacement Pro. Haven't had as much time to play with it as I like - National Guard, had drill this weekend. But so far I've got the core sitting at a nice 820mhz. I'm going to do some dicking around this week and see if I can get to 900mhzish. At any rate, it wasn't a PSU issue, it really was a DOA card.

So why are you wanting the Pro if you already have an XT?
 
I just got my Sapphire 2900 Pro 1GB card yesterday & coming from a 8600GTS, this card ROCKS! I have a question for you. The 2900 Pro is in limited quantity. As of this post, the card is pretty much sold out everywhere. What will happen if you can get a replacement card? :confused:

Probably get a refund and pick up one of the new cards coming out next month.
