I have always had better result using a dedicated rail for all the devices and JCAT card is no different, this is the reason I plan to have a dedicated rail just for the JCAT card.  Building this separate rail will not add that much more work, once I am done with this build, I will post steps I take to build the next 4-rail supply, and you will see it is less involved than this build.

 

Probably a silly question to respond with but what about a dedicated 19v rail into something like an HDPLEX 400W/800W DC-ATX converter directly to an expansion card? I would think even this would fare better than bus power and would sit somewhere between bus power and a dedicated LPSU direct to the card... 

 

Something like this:
