NVIDIA claims that it has tdp of "250w" for gtx 480. However on my Kill-A-Watt, I can estimate that this card runs 250 on stock and 300+ with overclock. I've come to this conclusion because my computer idles at 150watt and running furmark ,it loads 450.on stock and 500+ with overclocked gpu.. ok well the whole system is working harder but I'm pretty sure gpu is running more than 300 watt here
So I've heard that PCI-e 2.0 x16 lane has 75watt, 6 pin has 75 and 8 pin has 150. Which means It will power 300 watt safely right?
Will there be a problem? my psu is antect signature 850 and I know it's a decent performing power supply. It hasn't given me any problems so far. This is more of a curiosity
