Hey guys, my mate plays mw2 and other games with me.
His computer was struggling with games on low, so we decided to try an upgrade.
his specs are (dont no the models)
core 2 duo
2gb ddr2
some acer motherboard
250 gb hdd
dvd burner
hd 2300 pro 256 mb ( his old graphics card)
stock 250 watt psu
Well i found out the hd 5670 was a good card for the price, so he went ahead and bought it.
We got it installed successfully.
Works like a charm in games, his loving it. basically everything on high on 1440 res.
So his pretty happy, but im kinda worried that if the psu will hold. i went and check some reviews saying that some systems never exceed 250 watts under load, but hoping for a better opinion.
Could the psu blow and take all the parts with it? or just die?
He cant get a new psu atm, he may have to wait a little bit.
So basically seems like its running fine and great, im just not 100% sure whats happein inside.
So whats your views?
