350 Power supply with the 6800 ultra is OK!!!! - Page 2

Depends on the make of the psu. Good 350s should push a full system based on what some of the independent reviews said about power consumption.

But I agree with cmelton, nvidia has been acting way too shifty lately. What else are they hiding?

Finding a 350 watt power supply with that number of connectors is an unlikly venture to say the least. Esspecially if you have 2 HD's, 2 optical drives, and a spliter running add on fans. At which point you should probably be running a better power supply simply because your system may require it with all the stuff in it.

Yeah thats what i was thinking, 350 watt may be ok for a standard system with 1 cd drive 1 hard drive and a floppy, but anything more than that and you're gonna need more wattage flowing through the pc.

How is Frodo the cat these days?
