heres one for the modders
hey guys i want to get a 8800 gts for my system currently i know that i do not have enough power for it but i dont want to buy a new psu i have 3 perfectly good 250 watt psu's laying around useless to me. what i would like to do is use a psu to power the gfx card only.
i know i sound like a fuckin tight wad but hey i might as well use it
my questions are
1.i know that vid cards draw power from the system bus but how much if any (since the card requires seperate power connections) is drawn from the system?
2 is there enough power in that single psu to power the gfx card by itself?
thx guys for any help you can offer
