I have an Antec 500 watt psu and it works fine with my Visiontek 4870. I have had no trouble at all. See my specs below.
yeah, i just re-installed my 4870, did some tweaking in catylast control center that i didnt know were there. But yeah, my 500 psu is working fine now for my card
Should be enough. Might even be enough for a second 4870 but that might be pushing it. The good thing is, it has overvolt protection, so if it activates then the system will switch itself off and you'll know you need a beefier power supply.
