6800ultra on a 430W truepower

[golgotha]

I'm running an eVga 6800 Ultra on an Antec TruePower 430watt power supply.
The minimum recommended power supply is 480W, yet I have not had a single issue with my card. This puppy is screaming.

So, is anyone else running their 6800 under the minium specs?
Does your card have issues?

I thought they revised that downward a bit? Regardless, I've run my GT@431/1.1ghz in my SN45G with ACHME 200w PSU and had zero problems with it over the course of the week I done so. However, I will say that the reason it was in there to begin with is that my true330 went belly up within 2 weeks of adding the GT to my A64 system, and I swapped for a true430 like yours. It had been running 24/7 for a long time so it was probably just coincidence, but I did find the timings suspicious, food for thought at least.

I can run below recommended wattage..However i would upgrade to min of 480W PSU.

A true 430 watt PSU is more than enough for even a normaly loaded system and a 6800 Ultra. Unless you have an extreme amount of Fans / Drives you should be fine.

I'm running a loaded system with a GT at Ultra speeds on a True380S, a 430 will be fine.

I have a Gainward 6800GT 'Golden Sample' which runs at Ultra speeds (holy crap this thing is fast!) on an Antec True430 PSU and have had no problems whatsoever.

(5 case fans, 2 RAIDed drives, 2 optical drives, Audigy2, an IC7 MAX3 and a P4 2.6@3.25Ghz)
