Found a review via Sapphire's card page whose only (minor) shortcomings are that it doesn't test power draw and uses a relatively powerful test system.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the review is for the PCIe version. I've found a few reviews for the PCIe version, but I've not found any for the AGP version. All of the pics I've seen show a package that contains the game Just Cause. The AGP card I bought from Newegg came in a different box and did not include a game.

Will a 350 watt antec PSU be enough ? Thats what I got.

No! Please use a well reviewed 480 watt or higher. Sapphire's specs say the following: "At least 450W PSU recommended (550W for CrossFire configuration)"

Davv, if you read through the link you gave, it does not guarantee your 350 watt maybe adequate. Remember PSU degrade over time, and with peak usage on a fully loaded system may overtax (and overheat) an already aging PSU. The higher the power the better. Buying an expensive graphic card and then go cheap on the PSU...

I just ordered one and I have one clear rail I'll hook up both plugs to. I'm running a thermalake 430 watt and frm what I've heard from mucho research it should handle it. If not I'll jump back on here and update.

I am using a the thermalake one stated above (420 watt actually not 430) for about a week now with no issues. I laft one rail empty and used it for both plugs. Nice card and OC's well with the Catlyst Overdrive. It won't run my old SOF 2 game though. It was outdated any way, but was playing it while I waited on this card. I was running a 128 mb 5200 after smoking my X800 XL.

I just got this card. And I must say, it is a BEAST! My friend upgraded his system and let me have this card, and its the Sapphire version. Scored 5.9 and 5.6 on the Windows experience index in W7 Ultimate 32-bit.

As for power... I am running it on a 450 watt power supply with 22 Amps and the 12v rail (It says 30 amps and 12 volts)

And its OC'ed from its default 500 core to 680 and memory to 710. Truly amazing, if you can find it today!
