Iīve bought this card yesterday:

Point Of View 9800 GX2 and itīs just brilliant!

Of course you need a powerful PSU if you run much peripherie like DVD-ROM/RAM, HDDs, Dual/Quad Core Processor etc.

I myself have a C2D Quad running with 2GB RAM, 2x500GB Samsung HDDs, 1 Plextor DVD-ROM Drive, 1 LG Dual Layer DVD/CDROM Writer, a Soundblaster X-FI running. My PSU is a BeQuiet BQT ES 700W. This PSU is sufficient for my PC but if youīre running an Intel Extreme Edition CPU or whatever that sucks out Mr. Ampere and Mr. Watt, then you need a stronger PSU. Iīm running my PC with default settings so iīm not overclocking any parts as thatīs not really worth the money! Freaks do that ;)

Despite the fact that I got no picture first when iīve installed the card, I though it was my PSU but reading quite good forums around, many people just stated that my PSU is sufficient as long as I donīt overclock. But I still was wondering why my Iiyana 2200 TFT didnīt receive any signal from the card. Itīs because I was plugged into the wrong DVI connector. LOOOOL. They suggested to turn on the PC first, wait 10-20 seconds and then turn on the TFT and tadaaaa a picture! This card is freaking fast I tell ya
