OK, now I understand:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r220...0A-on-12V-Rail

So, my Atrix 600T @ 720W, which seems to be cheap, old and fairly crap gives this:

+3.3V +5V +12V +12V -12V +5VSB
35A 40A 15A 17A 0.5A 2.5A

(Sorry about the formatting)

...which is 32A on the 12V rail - not enough according to the GPU spec, which wants 40A.

Especially with the CPU o/c'd from 2.67 to 3.25, plus 2xSSD and 2x1Tb HDD in RAID, plus a CoolerMaster heatsink for the o/c'd CPU.

Still surprised that I've not experienced this problem with other games though.

Hope this sheds some light - check your 12V rail, boys!
