Installing a vintage nVidia Vanta (TnT based) PCI video card into my machine. Does anyone know how much power it would consume?

Also, what is the theoretical maximum power that the PCI bus can deliver?

(trying to minimize power consumption to save electricity :) )

Max Watts it can offer is 25W
The maximum +12V current is 500mA.
The maximum +3.3V is 7.6A
Some MB do not supply +12v
