30amps on the 12volt rail?

Im piecing up a system that includes a ati x1900xt. ATI's site says the psu should have 30amps on the 12volt rail. The most the local shop has is 22amps(Thermaltake PurePower 560W Active PFC). What should I be looking for to power this card? Would that psu be suffiecient?

thx
