| 292424 | 2004-11-15 12:37:00 | Gigabyte Radeon 9700Pro Graphics card Instructions say plug into the power, thats about all the detail they give, none that I can find on the Gigabyte website. I can see where to plug the power into and it looks as if it will take the standard floppy drive type plug. Is this the correct power supply for this card? |

| 292428 | 2004-11-15 18:20:00 | Sounds like you've inherited someones trade-in. That is the right plug. Article on how much juice those cards took here Xbitlabs (www.xbitlabs.com) The inrush current on early 9700s could trip the overcurrent protection on some PSU when combined with all the drives etc spinning up. |
