cards that need their own PSU

[Drinibeans1]

Im having some troubles finding cards that need their own power supply...



anyone know of any?

oh yeah...PCI-E x16

what do you mean? cards that need to be powered by the PSU?

 

[Drinibeans1]

no, cards that need a separate power supply...

Umm, they make PCI-e PSU's for graphic cards. But there are no graphic cards that require their own supply. Most are powered by the main unit as long as its powerful enough, if its not they replace the main power supply.

But from what i understand, your asking what video cards require their own power supply. Their isn't a video card the "requires" its own sepperate supply of power.

No consumer cards require their own power supply, are you sure you aren't thinking of cards which require a separate dedicated connection to the power supply?

 

[Drinibeans1]

okay, what cards are out there that require a separate dedicated connection to the power supply?

 

[ThatGuy16]

any card with a required PCI-e power connector, lots of them

 

[Drinibeans1]

do you know if any of them come in 'low profile' form?

and when im searching, whats their actual name?
