Hi everyone, there is a lot of success stories about getting NVIDIA Cards to work on internal LCD under Windows, using Optimus drivers. But how about Radeon cards? I didn't find much details about AMD's switchable graphics support on MPBs with Iris iGPU. Did anyone get R9 cards to work on MBP's internal LCD? Thanx to admins for moving my original post to the proper topic

300W is definitely too much for DA-2. But I would call into question such statements. Both PCIe lane (max 75W) and 8pol plug (max 150W) allow max power consumption of 225 Watt, not 300 Watt. Would you please point me to one of the related reviews?

It's like you are reading my mind ) I am very interested in the new Fury Nano indeed. Low power consumption at the PCIe slot comparable to Fury-X would be perfect. But coming back to the worst case, it would be still interesting to know the limits of DA2 power cord. Some people say it has 3x 14 AWG - IMHO, more than enough to carry 3x 6 amps and more. If someone would confirm that, then I would safely apply my simplistic "zero-soldering" wiring.

I want to use DA-2 with Akitio Enclosure and a 175W GPU with 8pin connector. According to the very nice introduction by jacobsson, the DA2 has three 12V wires. Trying to minimize soldering efforts, I came up with a wiring diagram, where all three 12V wires are connected with an 8pin GPU power connector only two wires are also connected with Akitio Barrel plug Assuming that the GPU will consume 75W from PCIe lane and 100W from an 8pin connector, it seems like the total current in one wire will be 100W/3 = 2.8 A the total current in two other wires will be 100W/3 + (10W+75W)/2 = 6.3 A Do I need to worry about more than 6 amps in those two wires? Are there any specs or information about the DA2 power cord? AWG? Length? Resistance?

Fury Nano looks promising! But... it needs 175W! Any idea how to properly supply this wattage?
