I am thinking to buy Sapphire HD 7750 (Low Profile) will it work on my dell 960 sff?, i have 235W PSU and without any COOLER etc.... please tell me, and i have watched youtube video in which a user is playing games in this GRAPHIC CARD in 240W PSU.... in official site recommended PSU is 400W. I keep my cpu case open (i never close it due to less space in my system), and also i can attach a fan to it. Im currently using NVIDIA 210 1Gb, its working fine... please tell me im waiting. Thanks in advance

it really depends on your psu too, over time capacitors age and the psu wont push what its rated too. if it can handle a 210 a 7750 shouldnt be that much more stress on it, however if it isnt pushing what it is supposed to be it could cause damage to your system if it goes out when it is stressed. i would recommend getting a new one just to be safe. but it is your system and if you add the wattage it should run but you never want to push a psu that close to its max push because if it goes out it can take your whole system with it

a 235 watt is cutting it really close, it really it draws 20 more watts on max load than a 210 and given capacitor aging there is no telling what your psu is actually pushing.you can try it but i would recommend getting a new psu as well

hey but what about that video, which is running AC4 in this card, with 220W PSU (not 240W)... :(
