Just to make it clear on the Gaming X 8GB. The original shipped bios on my card, that MSI refers to TV341MH.152, has 110W/180A/180W (+50%), which seems way above what the slot+8 pin might be safe to deliver. The later TV341MH.153 that some cards are shipping with, or is delivered via MSI Liveupdate for the same card has 110W/124A/150W, which is exactly the same as the Nitro+ OC 8GB of a friend of mine.
the 8 pin can safely do 250W but is speced for 150W. my card (4GB gaming X) was reporting 188W on stock volts.
