Hello!
I'm thinking of getting a Sapphire 7790 Dual-X OC instead of my 6670. I have a couple of questions regarding this:
1. Is the 7790 capable of running newer games on 1080p on fluid FPS?
2. Is my power supply gonna have enough juice to power it?
Coz I've heard stories that MS industrial PSUs kinda suck, but I don't have nearly enough experience in that field to know.

My specs are:
Intel i5 2500k, 4x 3.33ghz
radeon 6670 1gb
4gigs of ram
an ms industrial pro-550atx 2.03 psu
asus p8p67-m motherboard

Any response is appreciated. :)))

Thats a horrible PSU. It only has 16a(192) on the 12v rail. Which is incredibly weak for a supposed 550w PSU. A good 550w PSU should be able to deliver ~500w(41a-42a) on the 12v rail(s). The 7790 will play @ 1080p but you'll be using medium low settings on newer games.
