How Many Amps Does A Ps4 Draw

Seems like a rig with a 1000W PS and a monitor would depict almost x amps.
1000/120 = 8 plus 2 for a monitor.

Does that seem in the ballpark and is that 10 amp draw constant?

Trying to figure out if I have enough juice in my circuit to support 2 computers.

well i take a 500 watt power supply that provides something similar fifty amps on the 12 and the 8800 draws 26 i think
and so i believe it will draw 26+ whatsoever information technology is for all the other parts
i dont know how y'all got 10 amps.
about the two computers though, that depends on how much the excursion is rated for, go check in the circuit box outside.

No it doesnot piece of work that way.
Your PS may be capable of outputting 1000 watts DC but to exercise that it volition draw about 20% more than from the line if it was 80% efficient. Then effectually 1200 watts AC from the wall.
However it will only draw what is needed by the PC at the fourth dimension.
Your PC is but going to pull around 400 watts from the PS under a full load gaming, 480 to 500watts AC from the wall so yep yous are probably alright on a fifteen amp billow/120VAC line.
You can ever go to the box to check if the breaker is warm or buzzing if and so you know you are probably stressing it or y'all have an old breaker that you should replace.

Simply checked my UPS and it is drawing about 330W.....and so pretty low amps as well.
According to my APC RS1500 LCD, my system (non exactly 'loftier-end') as listed plus an HP J5780 printer, D-Link DGL-4100 router, and a cable modem; ~430 Watts idle.
I would not trust the watt meter thats built into any UPS supply to be accurate. The best way to mensurate is with a wattmeter on the AC supply line. Then allow for the efficiency of the PS to become a expert idea of what the PS is suppling the system in DC watts.
Here is a 8800GTX and SLI review with power consumption

From reading the link you posted, and comparison the setup Hilbert was testing to mine, it appears my wattmeter is probably fairly authentic.
Notwithstanding, I will get out the Fluke and test the amperage draw to see what I am really using.
I retrieve your numbers are so far more than authentic than labsharks.The reason I posted that is becase labshark says 330 for two GTX cards and y'all have 430 for one bill of fare albeit over clocked at idle. Hilberts meter say 475watts AC for sli under full gamming load. The gtx volition pull near 135 to 140 watts DC each under load but only 70 watts DC each idle in 2nd. The cpu will also pull about double under a big load.
And then with that in mind check yours out in idle and under load.
