In another thread in the Video Card section of these forums, I started a thread regarding a problem involving my power supply and my video card. My conclusing from the discussion held there was that...

So, is it possible that this card provides no means for using as much potential as its powering options will allow for?

Thank you for your feedback.

I am working with a 800W Power Supply from BFG. I'm pretty sure that the amount of power output is plenty for the machine.

Comparing the photograph to my card,...
