    Question Which X800XL?

    I have recently tried to fit the Sapphire X800XL Ultimate edn. in my 330P but it wouldn't fit. I am now going to go with the standard Sapphire X800XL unless someone can recommend anything better that doesn't need additional power. Does anyone know of any such X800XL cards

    davepuma didn't want 1

    A PCI-E socket should be able to support an X800XL without an additional power socket but it's supposedly better for stability & overclocking with 1.

    .....The Biostar 330P doesn't have a socket to connect it to, hence the reason I want a X800XL that just slots in without additional power. I think the SN25P is the same. I don't know why these SFF things don't have the additional power supply for a GPU but they don't......

    The power adaptor comes with the graphics card. I had no problems powering up my X800XL in my SN25P.
