I have an AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 920MHz OC. I used to have a 750W PSU, but it failed on me, so my friend gave me a 450W temporary replacement.
However, the manufacturer suggests at least 500W for this card.
My other friend also told me that if you have an inadequate PSU, then it's possible that your GPU cores can permanently 'burn out'. Will 450W be OK for this card and is what he said true?
Other specs:
AMD FX-6100 @ 3.30 GHz
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM @ 1600MHz
