How many watts is your power supply?

If you don't know, when you take the case off, it is on the side of the big box that the power cord plugs in to.

DRK, you got me to thinking, is the power supply 6 pin connector plugged into the card?

Wouldn't it have to be to get any sort of display from the card?

I'm pretty sure that some power would be taken from the bus like older cards...

and I'm just wondering here, what company made the card? and I don't mean nvidia.
