ownage said:I don't think 250W as there is a specification of power draw for PCI-E that caps it off at 200W (or maybe lower) for the 6 pin plug and from the connector itself.
High-end video cards tend to draw power directly through the PSU, not the PCI-E slot. But now that cards are eating even more power, you'll see more and more external or secondary PSUs designed to power GPU's because they simply use so much power, especially in a dual-video card solution like SLI or CrossFire.
