Hey~
I know the 6800 is a power hog, but anyone know the stats on a vanilla 6800? i can't find them anywhere!!!
I would like to know especially how much of that power is from teh +12v rail of the PSU. Thanks!

The evga states that it recommends a 350 watt power supply. Scroll down on the link and you ll see the specs. Hope this helps. Link

a quality 250W is fine also. sum dude from another forums ran an fx-53 and a 6800 gt on one and it ran fine, along with a gig of ram and a harddrive. evga recommends 350W cuz most people have generic psu's.
