Q: I just ordered the BFG 6800 Ultra and noticed the following power requirements: MINIMUM
480w power supply with two power dongles!
Holy crap! I have a Cooler Master Real Power 450W and just assumed it would be enough. Link to my PS

Anyone know if this would be sufficient to power this or are they really serious about this minimum?
Re:Will hooking it up to the Aria 300W start to smoke?
Re:A quality 420 watt can run a 6800 Ultra, a POS 420 watt wont…..
Re:guy,
How's the Real Power 450 working with your Ultra? That's the powersupply I was considering replacing my chepo 450 with. I also have a Ultra 6800 on the way.
Thanks
Re:Forget about the overall watts rating. That is like a game requiring a "64 MB video card".
I have a Zalman 400B for an AMD64 3400+ with a 6800 Ultra, 5 optical drives, 3 harddrives, TV and assorted other junk. Works fine. Rated at 400 watts.
Re:Yes it would be enough.
