8800gt and Antec True Power TRIO 430W

[Guest]

Hello,

I registered with this forum in order to get an answer about my power unit.
My friend has bought an 8800gt graphics card, and i was wondering if it is compatible with my ANTEC True power trio.
It is the 430 Watt version, and it is aprox 5 years old. If anyone could tell me about the compatibility of the two devices i would be grateful. I tried to do some research, and i found that the unit has ample Watts and 3 12 volt rails, however, I noticed that the rails are 16 amp. Please tell me if my friends videocard is compatible with my power unit.

yes, but is there enought amperage for it?

 

[Upendra09]

if you bought it within 2-3 years then yes

 

[Guest]

yes, but it was bought somewhere around 6 years ago

 

[Upendra09]

then no, back then they had different power usage and therefore different power out puts

you will want a new PSU
