It is not just the adapter but the amperes on the +12V rail of the power supply that matters. Your power supply must have at least 26 amps on the +12V rail. The 8800GT itself draws up to almost 10 amps on the +12V rail. Processor circuit, cooling fans and motors of drives all draw from +12V rail. Old power supplies tend to be weak on the +12V rail and would have difficulty powering the new high power graphics cards.
