NVIDIA lowers the PSU requirements of the GeForce 6800 Ultra

Post by Apoptosis »

Game Spot has an article stating that NVIDIA is lowering the power supply requirements of the GeForce 6800 Ultra to 350W instead of the current requirements of a 480W PSU.
Nvidia has received a large amount of criticism for its recommendation of a 480W power supply for use with its newest GPU. Since most of today’s computer systems only ship with power supplies in the 300-450W range, the need for a 480W power supply upgrade can add a significant add-on cost for gamers interested in buying a GeForce 6800 Ultra video card.
I also heard that you may only need one of the power connectors plugged in durning "normal" use. Normal meaning you are not overclocking.
