I've been searching around all day to find out whether or not my power supply can handle a GTX 570.
I'm using this Power Supply and thinking about buying this GPU.
The main problem here is not with the max wattage-- I've searched around and it seems that 630W is enough in itself. However, the card claims that my PSU needs 38 amps on my 12v+ connector, and the power supply I'm using has dual 12v+ connectors with 22 amps a piece. I've read around and understand the basics of dual connectors (that they won't combine and all that jazz), but I don't know EXACTLY how many amps the GTX 570 will draw from a single 12v+ connector-- not sure 22 amps will be enough.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
