Default 6600LE - How manywatts does this card use?

I have a 269.9 watt power supply, and i want to get this card, does anyone know if this card will work with this wattage?
I currently have a 35watt card, just to give you an idea....

Well the 6600 GT needs 480 Watt PSU so I doubt the LE takes much less power...

Well due to the fact that gt is twice as powerful as a 6600, and it and 6600 uses molex connectors, i would think so. But when nvidia says 480watts or 300wats minniuim they are talking aboutt hose who have lots of hardware and lights and fans ect in there case....


Whats about a 9600xt then? Would that be alright with a 269.9 watt psu?

There's more to a PSU than just wattage. Tell us the amperage on the +12V line as well.

13A on 12V rail would be enough
