ATI Radeon 4850 on 300W PSU vs ATI Radeon 5750 on 280W
I have a bit of a dilemma here because I'm putting an Overwatch only PC and I bought a Radeon 4850 512mb graphics card, I was looking at the min PSU requirements and it states that 450 or 400W (can't remember correctly) is required with 30amps.
The PSU I have in the PC is a Delta Electronics 300W PSU with +12V 18A rail. So looking at the minimum requirements there is no way to run this right?
Here's the deal though, my personal computer which is very old has a 280W with +12V 18A rail which is basically the same apart the 20W difference. I run Radeon 5750 1GB on that but the minimum requirements for that graphics card is the same as the 4850, so I am wondering if I will be able to run the 4850 on the 300W PSU or do I need an upgrade?
P.S I also know that the 5750 runs at 86W max power and the 4850 at 110W but that's only 24W difference also considering the 300W is 20W more powerful that leaves 4W not sufficient so is that a big problem or not?
I only want to run Overwatch on that machine and nothing else, no overclocking or crossfire. Everything stock. Quick response would be appreciated.
