March 23, 201016 yr Well thanks for all the help thus far guys.I recently bought another 8800gt to add to my original. thought i want to ask if i have enough power to handle two of them. i currently am going to put a 750w power supply in my new rig. will this power supply be enough to power both cards and the rest of the system??? or where can i find out how much power will this bad boy eat up?Denis Ndregjoni
March 23, 201016 yr Hard to say Denis, I don't know what the rest of your system is. Off the top of my head though I would say, yes. A 750 watt PSU should be plenty, just make sure it has the available dual PCIE connectors (and has the others needed for you mb as well). If new, you should be all set but couldn't tell for sure reading this.Enter your specs in this PSU calculator and I'm sure you'll be more than under the limits.Most online PSU calculators are always higher than what's needed and are normally tied into sales somehow so keep that in mind. What kind do you have? How many rails? I would use at least a dual rail PSU, it should say in the specs. It also of course matter who makes it. I have burnt out plenty of crap psu's in the past and (knock on wood) this one has kept me out of the dark for over a year. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

March 23, 201016 yr Well, as long as I know, that FSX doesn't take the full advantage of dual cards, or it might take only between 20% to 50% of the second card.But any way, congrats for your new card ;)..Thanks. Ibrahim Nassef
March 23, 201016 yr Commercial Member 750 should be enough for two 8800's I'd think. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
