So after reading this (http://guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-5770-review-test/11) where it says you need at least 40amps available for the HD 5770, I am starting to wonder if my power supply will be able to run this card. The wattage isn't what I am so much concerned with since my PS is 850 watts, but I don't see where they get that number from. The ATI/AMD site says the MAX wattage for the 5770 is 108w. With a 12v supply that is only 9A.
I have this, the Antec CP-850 (http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=NzIw).
I am finding it hard to believe a 850 watt PS wouldn't be able to run a mid-level GFX card. But I have missed more blatantly obvious things before so I feel I should post this just in case.
