Hi all
I am looking for a new graphic card, to get nice frame rate, for gaming. Do not want to spend too much. But I also do not want to buy a new PSU to use it. Build is:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5093#ov
According to PC Part Picker (http://pcpartpicker.com/) my system with this graphic card only needs an estimated of 233W.
Therefore, my PSU should be fine, and I do not need to upgrade my it. So the Question is when I look at these graphic card's website, why do they lie me? And how can one know what the True Power Consumption of a graphic card requires?
