    Running dual graphics card

    Right now i am running this graphics card
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814125088

    And I am running this mobo
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131142

    I am using this power supply
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817194003

    would the power supply be able to handle two of those graphics cards?

    Might be cutting it close, but it could probably make it.

    Re: Running dual graphics card

    each card requires 24A for a total of 48A

    the power supply is 22A + 22A

    so the power supply would be doubtfully enough.

    You obviously need it in simple terms:

    Buy a better PSU you fucking moron.

    Re: Running dual graphics card

    Before you buy a new powersupply and another GPU, what CPU are you using and are you overclocking it any?

    Reason is that if you happen to get another 8800GT without the CPU to back it up, you will be severely bottlenecked and won't get the performance increase you would hope for.

    You'll probably want to repost that in words no greater than one syllable.

    No, lmao. 24A is nearly 300 watts. One card needs 24A for the WHOLE system, not just the card. Two cards would probably need around 36A to be safe.

    Your PSU does 32A over the 12V rails. It's not going to run it. Buy a new PSU.
