Rofflecopter 0 Posted February 16, 2007 You won't blow the card as it takes 2 power cables and your not going to put too much power in it, but you might damage the PSU if it doesn't have enough power. I have an 8800GTX and it has 2 power slots in (I didn't read instructions I just plugged the power into both), but my PSU has 2 PCI-E connectors already on it so it was quite natural.

Rofflecopter 0 Posted February 16, 2007 I run my 8800GTX from a 500W supply dual rail and works fine (single not sli) This what I have. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/120377/rb/25336518032 But on saying that I did find this, looks to be same problem. http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardwar....09.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luciano 0 Posted February 16, 2007 I doubt its the powersupply, or the whole system would just shut down. But its easy to check. Play a different game and see if it happens. If it only happens with ARMA, then its not the PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
