Would my psu be enough for this video card?

I am currently RMAing a eVGA 7900 GT Superclocked. I was considering moving up to the eVGA 7900 GTX. The regular, not superclocked. EVGA website says min psu requirements are 450w with 22 amps on 12v. My psu is 460w with 34 amps on 12v. Obviously, I meet the listed minimum requirements. But, is my psu truly enough to run this card stable? My watts are close to minimum, but my 12v is pretty good. I only have one hard drive in my system, so there isn't extra consumption from multiple drives. What do you think?

Depends, which brand and model is it?

Yes, it is. Just make sure you don't over-overclock.

It is the one in my Dell XPS. So, it's a Dell. My current card is a 6800 GTo. It runs fine.

I'd be a little skeptical. Obviously Dell didn't give you anything more than what was needed to run you're current configuration.

Firstly, Dell actually tends to use good power supplies especially in their premium lines. Secondly, 34 amps at 12v is some good current to say the least.

Well, this psu handles it just fine. My 7900 GTX came today and runs great. The only games I've tried with it are FEAR and COD2. I figure those put games were a good test.
