anyone know the power draw for a 9800pro?

[Boonesmi]

does anyone know how much power a 9800pro requires? more specifically im trying to find out how many amps of each of the 3.3v, 5v. and 12v rails

tks for the replys... but im not worried about a powersupply not being enough.

i was curious of the powerdraw of several different components... everything i was easily able to google up the info for everything except for the 9800pro

I know I ran an OC'd Athlon XP and an OC'd 9800p using a generic 300W PSU with 18A on the 12v rail, so it doesnt require much power.

18A+ on the 12v rail is all you really need to worry about I think.

my friend has had trouble running 3hds 2 optical + amd 3500+ (130nm) with his 9800 PRO

ahh tks... that article had all the info i was looking for. i found it interesting that the 9800pro got most of its power from the 5v rail, unlike most of the newer ati cards (which is one of the things i was wanting to verify )

A friend of mine has a Dimension 8300 with a 230-250 watt power supply, and the card ran fine on it, if that helps you at all!
