Hey guys quick question about a power supply i have... it came with the antec fusion and i was just wondering whether it was sufficient to power a graphics card such as an 8600 gts or even one of the new hd 2600 pro's
or the 7900gs or the x1950pro

see its half a media center and soon to be half gamer rig graphics pending
ps im running onboard ati 1250 at the moment and vista premium

It may be able to power an 8800GTS. That would be pushing it though.

I calc'd your basic e4300/2xhdd/1xdvd/2xfans/8800 GTS 640MB OC@(576/1350/1700) to have a +12v demand @ 21A or less.

The su-430 is rated for +12v@31A max / 27A (under typical system loads) so it should work without a problem, with plenty of room left for CPU OC, hdd upgrades, etc.

Also, the SU-430 is based off a Seasonic S12 OEM design (refer to SPCR's su-380 review), and apparently Seasonic OEM units are known to be a single-rail power supply so rail cross-loading is not an issue at all. No worries 8)
