I have a xfx geforce 8600 gt xxx gpu?

I would like to know how many amps does it need in order to work. I have searched all over the place and I can't seem to find what kind of amps it needs.

On the box it has all of the other stuff except for what kind of amp orI should say how much amp dose it need and I don't mean PSU I mean amps

Just to switch to another card hear? EVGA 8800gt overclocked 512mb gpu. Now it says it needs 26a on + 12v and so I have a 500 psu that has 2 pci-e connectors and one has 16a and the other has 18a and yet my gpu has been working for over 2 years now. How can this be done?blackleather223

Sounds like that PSU isnt very good, 16a on one rail and 18a on the other. When I first got my current computer it had a 580w PSU with a 16a and 18a rail and my HD4870 killed it within days.

But I think for PSUs you add the 2 (or 3,4,6,) rails together...I think
