hello guys,

i just wanna ask what is the fastest videocard that my PSU could handle? it only has 1 12V rail...

here are the specs:

delta electronics 280W (264W max)

+12V = 18A
-12V = 0.3A
+3.3V = 16.7A
+5V = 16A
+5VSB = 2.5A

+3.3V and +5V combined output power not exceed 135W

+3.3V and +5V and +12V co,bined output not exceed 264W

processor: amd sempron 64 3600+ AM2
mobo:lenovo w/ RS690G chipset

Probably not. I'd invest in a better power supply. Seasonic, corsair, antec, even fortron would probably work better. Don't buy some lightweight no name unit. I had one burn out in 4 days. If you don't want to change power supplies, check newegg's open box section. They have some low end 3650 or 2600xt's that might run without a new ps.

I'll disagree with o1die. Delta make pretty good power supplies, in fact Antec changed from Seasonic to Delta for their Earthwatts series. I'm still waiting on more information about the HD4670, but the 9500GT only uses 35w of power. Here's a chart of graphic card power use.

I'd have no problem with running a 9500GT on my personal system with that power supply.

Sorry, i have a Delta in one system, but different specs. The HD4670 pulls about 60w. What did the PSU calculator tell you?
