Power supply notes :
Connection to the system power supply is required:
450-Watt power supply or greater, 30 Amps on 12 volt rail recommended (assumes fully loaded system)
PCI Express compliant power supply (recommended). Connect directly to the power supply with a 6 pin PCI Express power connector
For CrossFire: 550 watt power supply or greater, 38 Amps on 12 volt rail
