Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

It is potentially reasonable. I mean, the 8800GT uses a shade under 250 watts at full load.

    Ah, but what I have discovered is that the 300w is just through the slots. GPUs have access to two power points on the logic board to provide the juice they need.

    Needless to say, I'll be picking up a GTX 280 sometime soon.
