I’m a little behind the times. Two of my PCs have no graphics capabilities and my workstation is running a 730m. My card draws power from the slot it’s pushed into. Do these run on a 12v provided by the PSU? If so, that’s FOURTY SEVEN FUCKING AMPERES OF POWER TO RUN IT.
WHAT THE FUCK
My first graphics card ever was powered from the PCI slot, my second had one used a molex plug from the power supply. Recently I was watching a PC build where his card used 2 molex connectors. Wonder how this thing is hooked up
It likely gets its own power fed directly from the grid at transmission voltage.
