Graphics card for 430w PSU

Im looking for a decent graphics card to play games through my 32" LCD.

From what I have seen the ATI X1950 range looks to be the best value for money, since my budget is around £100.

I like what I have read about the XT, but can anyone tell me if this will be suitable for my Antec Fusion case and 430w power supply?



Thanks for any help.

Use this to work it out put your system components in to relevant sections its quite straight forward really.
You will want to have 30amps on the +12 volt rails you have 16+16=32 but it dosent work like that im afraid.
Mactronix

Your Antec 430w psu according to the label is 31amps.
Amps = maximium wattage amount on the combined 12v rails divided by 12 = amps on the 12v rails = psu Amp rating

You should be ok with the X1950Pro unless your system carries a heavy load (multiple hard drives, optical drives, floppy drive, PCI cards, etc.)
Hope this helps.

Youll be ok, pushing the psu a bit, but ok. As for even considering the 8600GTS, DONT, as you wont be ok, the XT kicks its arse.

I know this is going back a bit now but I have an LG 32LX2R 32" LCD with a DVI-I connection at the rear.

The HTPC I have recently built has an M2NPV-VM motherboard with onboard DVI output but it is DVI-D, so at present I am unable to use it with the TV as there is no picture when the two are linked using a DVI-D single cable.

I do however have another old PC with a DVI-I graphics card, this works flawlessly with the TV using the same cable.

If I do buy one of these cards and put it in the HTPC, is there any reason it might not work with the TV?

Thanks, so does it sound normal that I cannot get the DVI-D connection from the M2NPV-VM to display but the PC with a DVI-I graphics card will?
