Hi Everyone,
Upgrading my graphics card from a Nvidia FX 5200 (don't laugh!) to a 7800 GS AGP.
I've read and read and read some more about reviews and making sure the power supply can cope.
I hear a 7800GS will need a 12volt rail + 20 amps. Here's what's on the side of my current power supply...
AC Voltage Current
INPUT 115V 10A
230V 5A
DC +3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb
OUTPUT 28A 40A 18A 0.5A 0.5A 3.0A
The DC OUTPUT +12V and 18A concerns me... Does anyone know if this will suffice? Would a 7600 GS be a better choice for this PSU?
Thanks for any help,
PC SPECS: AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+ 2Ghz 512Mb RAM (DDR) Windows XP.
(All this just to run Call of Duty 4!!! lol)
