ok so the card uses ~100W at load, but when you go to newegg and look at the power requirements it only needs a 75W 6 pin pci connector. Should I just from now on stop believing anything that is written on a box or on a website? I mean I can't even trust Wattage Calculators it seems. I'm getting a bit jaded on the whole thing. I'm starting to think 'to hell with it, just overkill'. In other words just get a 1200W PSU with 4 12v running 35A per rail! Or if you are so inclined one HUGE rail with a ridiculous and possible unsafe amount of amperage. Anyway I guess that qualifies as a question a rant and not quite a 'comment'.
