i have a 1950xtx and as u peeps know its a power hungry card, now i got a 570watt psu supplying power but i heard for the gpu its all about a 12v rail etc, my card is overheating so im thinkin the psu isnt up to it i got the specs for it and is as follows

+3.3 V : 32 A
+5 V : 30 A
+12 V 1 : 16 A
+12 V 2 : 16 A
-12 V : 1 A

now i heard about 25-30amps minimum to run my card, but there it says 16 but there is a +12 v 1 and a v2 do i add these together to make 32 or is the card jus getting 16a?
 
it is, no worries. google a program like 'local cooling' and it should give a ballpark estimate of how much u r using. mind, it is a very Big Ballpark. like imagine a ballpark. Then imagine it three times as big. then divide the size by two. then multiply it by like 3, that how big the park would be.

bu my gpu idles at like 65 and under pressure about 75-80, and thats wit atitool upping the fan speeds
 
i doubt it if ur psu has anything to do with ur GPU's heat. and its cool, the name of the program 'Local Cooling' has nothign to do with cooling. it measures the watts being used and stuff.
 
No. It should be fine...

Video cards are supposed to get that hot. My laptop's GeForce 6150 was reading 105C the last time I looked at it...

Although at that time the CPU fan was dead...
