@mimen Although I do not own a DA-2 it seems like you should be safe with a 970. Actually, this card seems to be capped at 200W max. That is the reading I got from the nvidia-smi utility. My 970 seems to run at a constant 149W under full load, I am sure there must be higher power peaks during gaming but the 200W cap suggests you should be safe.

 

thanks for that, Ill see if i can get a "cheap" one to connect to my alienware m18x so i can start running games full pelt again. Ill go ahead and order a DA-2 from ebay, they are dirt cheap.

Thanks all

So i should be able to run a 970, since that has a TDP of 145 according to

Thanks!

quick question.

What cards can i run, realistically, off the Dell DA-2 power brick?

cheers
