I've got at 1650 Super; it's not bus-powered either. I think it's got a 6-pin, but often you can plug a 6-pin into an 8-pin board and it'll just run a lower current limit (this might not be accurate --- a lot of internet comments say 8 pin boards will detect a 6-pin connector and refuse to work). A whole lot of modern computing gets ~ 90% of the performance with 50% of the power; so if using a 6-pin lead drops power to 50%, you would still get most of it. I've got a ~ 2006 380W power supply hanging out near my desk and it's got a 6-pin pci-e cable; I really don't think people won't have at least that, certainly not 95% of systems with a pci-e x16 slot. |
