A weak power supply should not cause low performace unless the GPU had to underclock. In that case, you should of gotten some form of warning.

450w should be plenty.

There should be a 12V1 and 12V2. Sometimes they both run at the same amperage, sometimes they don't(but just off by a couple amps)

hmm... that would depend on the total Wattage output the 12v rails can deliver in total. I dont think it will reach the 32Amp tbh
