budget is around $250, got a 500W power supply. i need some suggestions with which new PCI 2.0 GPU card i should get. so far, i’m thinkin' of gettin' the BFG 9800GTX... i need to know if there’s any other card out there with more bang for the buck...

i have one question... i have 2 6-pin PCI-connections on my 500w PSU, and at 12V, it’s rated at 22a. the minimum for a 9800 GTX is 475w at a combined 26a... is my psu compatible?

I don’t think so.
Also, the card I recommended requires “500W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 36A or more” minimum.

Hmmmm need to check into rating.
see, this is weird because a lot of the PSUs that were recommended have less amps then mine. i have an ANTEC EA-500D PSU. i think wut they’re saying is combined amperes. so comined, i would have 44a.

Yeah I was looking for info on that as well and I don’t quite understand it. What do they mean by “combined”?
I have a theory that perhaps the GPU requires TWO 6-pin power connectors thus each power connector can push 22amps a per connection. So combined with two connectors your PSU is capable of pumping 44amps through that bitch. Savvy?
Of course, this is just a theory. I could be totally off.

that’s the exact same thing i was thinking. i was looking for other PSUs that have more than 30a, but really couldn’t find anything. maybe the 1000W and above, but that’s overkill...
