i'm debating adding another 8800gt into my 08 mac pro but i want to make sure i'm not over loading the power supply
what i currently have in the machine
SATA DVD 16x burner
8800GT
4 drives, all 7200 RPM. OS is a seagate Hybrid 2.5 that i acquired for free.
16 gigs of ram, all slots are populated
2 x 2.8 SLANT cpu's
i am running on a 9800GT that i flashed to a 8800gt and my OEM 8800gt is sitting here.
both cards are functioning
but i have read in places that you might need to run a seperate power supply on a relay in order to power bigger cards with the 6 and 8 pin power adapters as the logic boards cant handle the load.
would i be ok ordering a pcie to mini adapter and running them? i plan on running quad monitors.
