I've seen some video cards that say they require a power supply with 12v 22amps for single card and 12v 36 amps for two cards to run SLI.
This is on the evga 7900gto.
I've only ever seen a few power supplies that can run provide 36amps. I mean I looked through the power supplies on newegg and saw a couple that were 36 amps but they were very expensive ones.
The 600w OCZ shows 18amps per 12v rail. So this power supply isn't enough to run the 7900gto? WTH? But on the reviews, there are people that say they are running all kinds of stuff plus 2 7900GTX cards.
So as you can see, my knowlege is lacking. I have no idea what I'm looking at when I read the ratings because I must be wrong about this junk. Please help!
