I've just had this graphics card delivered. I've understood prior to buying
that it needs a 450watt+ PSU. I've also got one on order - Antec Truepower
Trio 550w. The graphic card box states that it need 30amps on 12v rail. I
looked on Antec's site and the 12v rail is only 18amps. Can anyone tell me
if they are running this graphic card succesfully with one of these PSUs or
am I missing something Smile

As the name TRIO implies, that particular PSU has three 12V rails each
giving out nominally 18A, making it 54A total. Well more than required.

The Antec Truepower Trio 550w has 3 x 12v rails, each rated at 18 amps at
max load. The combined amperage should be more than enough to power a X1950
Pro.
